I have a computer with an msi tomahawk x870e motherboard and a ryzen 9000 cpu and I’m thinking of booting a linux distro from external storage connected to a USB-C 40Gbps port.
But I can’t really find info on if these ports do pcie tunneling on this board (as I think it’s optional) and I don’t know if a disk on such a port would boot as pcie/nvme or would communicate over some USB standard or suffer some other important performance hits if compared to placing the disk in an NVME slot on the motherboard?
Of course a faster disk can be installed on the board but let’s assume it’s an pcie3 nvme.
