Fastest non PCIE drive I suppose? PCIE SSD drives are usually around that speed.

See this one from the Surface Book 2 which is from 2017:

2800MB/s sequential read and honestly once I went with PCIE SSD's I can't go back to regular SSD's only for secondary storage. Sad they soldered it on though. Good luck fixing that laptop when that drive fails...

It’s still PCIe just soldered on board.

Point being that benchmark is a little misleading claiming to be the fastest "hard drive" when it's just standard PCIE speeds.
