I have one PCIe3.0 1x slots left. I am debating putting either a 10gbps nic or nvme drive there. I can use both and strictly speaking neither are needed. I'm not sure an nvme card is even usable in a 1x slot, and I think the 10gpbs nic will be limited to 80% performance? A third option would be a sata hba and just limit myself to using at most 4 of the ports.

I'm a little unsure of the 8mbps each way of that lane given overhead of PCIe and the different protocols run over it.
