I see this question keeps being asked with no answer, so i will answer it for ya all, it uses 2 lanes by design , because the internal graphics is using the other 2 pcie lanes, so i put in a 3500mps samsung ssd, and most i can get on criystaldiskmark is 1700mps for read and write speeds, and that is normal for latops with only 4 lanes in total that have no dedicated gpu,
CHEERS!
