I'd like to see USB-C replace SATA. Power and data over a single cable, speeds up to 20Gbps with USB 3.2, and any internal drive works externally without an adaptor.
20 Gbps is way too slow for NVME. Current PCIe 3x4 interface is 32 Gbps and is quickly becoming the bottleneck. PCIe 4x4 bumps it to 64 Gbps. That is before you consider the rather significant overhead that usb adds. You don't get drives capable of more than 75% of the raw throughput with usb.
Don't think Intel is going to bring 4.0 to the consumer chipsets until 2020 at the earliest. So from both a cpu and storage performance angle Ryzen has a year to rule the roost, maybe longer.

its really to bad U2 never taken off as heat would of Not been an issueDrazick - Friday, June 7, 2019 - link
Totally agree with you.Mother Board shouldn't be used for storage in desktop systems.
