And what does the practice look like? The second thing - will the drive connected via the PCIe card not be limited by the architecture of the motherboard? Which PCIe slot should you choose?

Greetings,
I would expect PCIe 4.0 x4, x2 in the upper slot with a 11th gen CPU and compatible disk.

I'm not sure what you mean by "what does the practice look like"?

Second question regarding an expansion card.  Disk needs to be compatible with chipset on expansion card to achieve maximum speeds.  Chipset on card needs to be compatible with Z590 chipset for best performance. 

Which slot?  You can use either x4 slot for an expansion card.  PCIEX4_1, PCIEX4_2).  These slots operate at PCIe 3.0 spec x4 or x2. 

fonon:
Specification:
Full PCIe 4.0 Design
1*PCIe 4.0 x16 slot
1*PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2
So only one slot except M.2 supports PCIe 4. The question is - does it really work? Has anyone tried?

fonon:
Samsung 990 PRO works just fine on upper NVMe slot.

Yes.  As I would expect. 

Might help others with the same question.

Sorry for the late reply.
