		I actually just wanted to comment about the new 10g nvme cards that Qnap has, it's really hard to find any information about them besides from qnap themselves and I really enjoy the breakdown of the nest compares YouTube videos. I was wondering if you have any plans on doing the QM2-2P10G1TB or the QM2-2P410G1T as they are PCIe gen 3 and 4 which will fix some of the bottleneck issues with the QM2-2P10G1TA. I would love to see some benchmarks ?
Thank, Chad

		qm2-2p10g1ta -  Gen2 x 2
QM2-2P10G1TB - Gen3 x8
QM2-2P410G1T  -Gen4 x8
Qnap will phase old cards out. They are backwards compatible. So if you do get a newer card it will work in older systems. 
Here is an expected performance 
SPEC                 	X1	             X2	    X4	  X8	          X16
PCIe 1.x  (2.5 GT/s)	500 MB/s	1 GB/s	2GB/s	4GB/s	8GB/s
PCIe 2.x  (5.0 GT/s)	1GB/s	2GB/s	4GB/s	8GB/s	16GB/s
PCIe 3.x  (8.0 GT/s)	2GB/s	4GB/s	8GB/s	16GB/s	32GB/s
PCIe 4.x  (16 GT/s)	4GB/s	8GB/s	16GB/s	32GB/s	64GB/s
PCIe 5.x  (32 GT/s)	8GB/s	16GB/s	32GB/s	64GB/s	128GB/s
PCIe 6.x  (64 GT/s)	16GB/s	32GB/s	64GB/s	128GB/s	256GB/s
