Now that's FAST! Is your primary NVMe on an internal slot inside your PC? I think my speed "bottleneck" is from the USB-C/USB 4.0 interface. The NVMe storage itself is capable of 7300 MB/s. Says so on the box ;-)What is the capacity of your T7? The interesting thing about solid-state storage, depending on the design, is the speed increases as capacity goes up once you get beyond a certain hump in capacity. For example, the 512GB and 1TB Mac Mini storage is noticeably faster than the 256GB found in their entry models. I don't recall why but it might have to do with the number of banks that the controller can read/write to in parallel - or something like that. I believe this holds true for SSD in general, not just in the Mac.

Yes, the 990 Pro sits in a slot on the motherboard. The motherboard even has a heat sink for it.My T7 (2 TB) is an external USB, connected to a USB 3.2 jack. The USB interface definitely slows it down compared to the native NVMe, but USB 4 is starting to appear, and it is something like 40 Gb/s. My motherboard doesn't have USB 4, just USB 3.2 (and USB 2.0).

That's pretty slick. You're probably going directly into an NVMe slot vs NVMe memory on a PCIe slot.I haven't 'built' a PC in a few decades. It might be a fun project but I'm not sure what I would do with it afterwards ;-)
When I was working I managed to repurpose a couple older servers to the SETI project and then Folding@home - donating distributed computing resources via the internet. The electric bill was on the company dime. I even let them have a few cycles from my Mac but that was notoriously slow compared to some of the built up PCs with NVIDA GPU.

Yes, M.2 slot. The motherboard (see link below)has 3 of them, one PCIe 5 and two PCIe 4. I'm using the PCIe 5 slot but the 990 Pro is PCIe 4.Built a new PC after using the old one for about 15 years since it became obsolete if I wanted to move to Windows 11. The new machine has an AMD Ryzen 7 9700 and 32GB of 6000 MHz RAM. With Windows 11 loaded it's a real pleasure to use.
Got all the parts at my local Best Buy except for the power supply. I wanted the Seasonic brand so ordered from Newegg (850W for some excess capacity).
The other nice thing is the noise level, or lack of it. Sitting 2 feet away it's nearly dead quiet.
