    thank you bro
    there is 2x

    This is what you have as the NVMe 3.0 x2 – budget high-speed SSDs running on the PCI-E 3.0 bus. A single PCI-E 3.0 lane has a theoretical throughput of 8 GT / s (Giga transactions per second), which equals 985 MB / s. The x2 marking implies two lines, that is, the speed is up to 1970 MB / s. In practice, however, the speed is usually slightly lower. Legacy motherboards, as well as many modern gaming laptops and ultrabooks, have an M.2 NVMe x2 slot.

    While and always note that putting an NVMe 3.0 x4 M.2 will run at the NVMe x2 speed and NOT in the fastest NVMe 3.0 x4 M.2 SSD speeds, as this x4 is utilizing four PCI-E 3.0 lanes (up to 32 GT / s or 3940 MB / s). The use of such a fast solid-state drive, at times, imposes restrictions on other connectors on the motherboard. For example, some of the PCI-E x1 / x4 or SATA slots can be deactivated.

    The A314-33 has a SATA-3 drive specs, the slot that you are showing is an M.2 "M end key drive type" that you can put NVMe M.2 drive but it will not work at the NVMe max specs but work at SATA-3 speeds. Install HWiNFO64 freeware and look under Bus > PCIe Bus #0 for the root ports and what they are? And if they are 2X or 4X posts.
