Question 1

Is the M.2 interface speed PCIe x2 or PCIe x4 ?

Accepted Answer

A SATA-based M.2 SSD is limited by SATA's maximum limit of 600 MB/s (megabytes per second). 
An M.2 SSD that supports PCIe enables it to use NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express), a low-latency host controller interface specification that reach speeds of up to 4 GB/s (megabytes per second), delivering comparatively blistering performance on compatible motherboards.

It is separate from the PCIe ports.
