I think people are missing something DF pointed out about the Series X. MS wanted consistency. Everything has hard locked rate of speed. The SSD doesn't have the peak speeds of PCIE 4.0 NVMe drives on PC but always runs at 2.4GB /s. A Samsung EVO 970 has transfer speeds up to 3.5GB /s. MS clearly wanted devs to no exactly how the Series X would perform at all times and build their games around that spec.
