It runs on either 2 lanes of gen 5 or 4 lanes of gen 4. The PCIE bus has 16 lanes. GPU's usually require 16 lanes, but SSD's rarely saturate more than 2 lanes, so they usually run on 2 or 4.
I'm not sure why people are upvoting a mid-tier dramless 1tb drive at $75, this is not a good deal. The 990 evo is somewhat slower than the last gen 980 pro (let alone the 990 pro), and while it can use two gen5 pcie lanes as a substitute for four gen4 pcie lanes it is not a "gen 5" ssd.
Here's a review (of the 2tb version): https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-c...ssd-review

While prices for ssds have drastically increased over the past half year, even in the current awful market this is still nowhere near a good price for a drive of this performance tier. If you really feel like massively overpaying for a 1tb drive from amazon (this is not recommended, just as an example of a bad deal that is a far superior value to the one posted), for only $6 more ($81) you can get the 1tb crucial t500 which has dram and blows the 990 evo out of the water, or for $10 more ($85) the 1tb sn850x which is even better. Let me reiterate again, I'm not recommending either of those drives at those prices, but they're a far better value than this "deal". Typically 2tb drives offer a significantly superior value compared to 1tb drives, but even for a 1tb drive the value proposition of the 990 evo at $75 is poor.
Need to see 4TB deals again.

However, for $74.99, I think it is okay.

Oh sh*t, a Gen 5 NVMe SSD for $75? In for one. Not that I'll be able to take advantage of its specs so I'll reserve it for a future build.
