2021-12-05 singing wires
I have probably described before the concept of the telephone network forming a single, continuous pair of wires from your telephone to the telephone of the person you are calling. This is the origin of "circuit switching" and the source of the term: the notion that a circuit-switched system literally forms an electrical circuit between two endpoints.

NVMe drives and the case of opaque bandwidth limits
However, I'm not sure I see an obvious place with the bandwidth limit in my PCIe topology, at least with Linux's tools for PCIe topology. Both NVMe drives are connected to 'Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH PCI Express Root Port' PCIe devices that are listed as part of what I think of as the PCI root bus. Since this is an Intel thing, PCH probably stands for Intel's Platform Controller Hub, which has a DMI link between the Intel CPU and the Z370 chipset. Looking at various things, this DMI link is about the speed of PCIe 3.0 x4, which could explain how I'm running into bandwidth limits. If neither NVMe drive is directly connected to any CPU PCIe lanes, the combined bandwidth of both of them together would be limited by the PCH to CPU bandwidth of roughly PCIe 3.0 x4.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
