So, use PCIe gen 4 x4 eh? Um… nice thinking, but that's not how it works, at least not currently. The issue is using PCIe gen 3 x8 doesn't quite make sense (good luck finding a consumer SSD that supports that) and using PCIe gen 3 x4 means you cannot get the max out of Thunderbolt 3 / USB 4. Problem is, USB4 has the same issue as Thunderbolt 3 (and even Thunderbolt 4). A non-Intel USB4 chipset will take some time to become available. However, a lot of makers are simply re-packaging Thunderbolt 3 external SSDs as USB4. Problem is, the main objective of USB4 is you don't have to use the Intel Thunderbolt 3 chipset. They have been available (as Thunderbolt 3) for some time now.
