Is it not possible to use multi-lane traffic for USB/SATA like with graphic cards? Upon reading the specifications, it seems that they are only allowing one lane per port as well. There are also some no-name SATA 3.0 cards which have an x4 connector, but if you inspect the traces more closely, you'll discover that only 2 lanes are connected. I can find SATA 3.0 cards (Adaptec ASR-6805T) in x8, but I suspect each port gets a dedicated lane. The slot is x4, but each port only uses one lane. The best examples I can find today are of a USB 3.0 card with 4 ports. Do any PCIe upgrade cards allow for multi-lane traffic on a single port to increase throughput? Were there any multi-lane PCIe cards for USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 which utilised more than one lane per available port? When I see photos of PCIe x4 or x8 card, I am noticing that the lanes tend to be dedicated to particular USB 3.0 port or SATA port.
