It advertises PCIe 3.0 for the NVME slots? You can't even get PCIe 3.0 drives anymore lol. I wish you could, but I guess this means any of your spare PCIe 4.0 drives will run at PCIe 3.0 speeds.

I'm curious how much this actually matters. Many drives cannot sustain their high speeds for long. And once their cache gets filled up or temperature rises, they suffer massive slowdowns.
For premium drives or specific workloads, I'm sure this matters a lot. But for a lot of users, maybe even the majority, PCIe 3.0 may not have a noticeable impact.

For what the overwhelming majority of people will use it for? Won't matter at all. Honestly I'm still salty I can't get PCIe3 drives anymore - no need for cooling even with a heatsink. PCIE4 introduced the heatsink and PCIe5 introduced active cooling. There is very little chance you'll notice the difference in speeds between PCIe3 and PCIe5 in day-to-day tasks.
