Thank you Mark-Jan for the additional information. I’ll study it and compare with my system. Much appreciated. Best regards, Joe > On Mar 9, 2019, at 11:19 AM, Mark-Jan Bastian wrote: > > Hi Joe, > > With sudo lspci -vvv you will see the capabilties, including the low-level > PCIe bus sp

Hi Joe, With sudo lspci -vvv you will see the capabilties, including the low-level PCIe bus speed and link count negotiation of the devices. The sudo is needed to get the low-level LnkCap and LnkCtl bits: For a 16-lane videocard on a laptop here, likely soldered right on the motherboard: The PC

Hi Mark, I am intrigued by your response and have obtained a tree view for my system as you suggested to Paul. I’m unfamiliar with the tree view and don’t understand how to check the number of PCIe lanes that are available to the disk controller and disks and how to check how many PCIe bridge

Hi Paul, Thanks for your post. I am new to USRP devices and UHD and GNURadio but I have recently obtained an X310 with dual TwinRX daughterboards to do pulsar radio astronomy and I have been exploring exactly the issue you raise in order to help me with my requirements to record data for hou

Hi Paul, I can record from the X310 to disk to nvme x4 PCIe at 800 MB/sec for a few minutes. There is still a risk of O 's appearing. First thing to check is the number of PCIe lanes available to the disk controller and disks, and how many and which PCIe bridges are in between on your motherboar

Hi, I'm trying to record the full X310 bandwidth, for a few hours, without any missed samples. Which of course is a bit of a challenge - does anyone here already achieve this? We're using a TwinRX, so initially I wanted to record 2x 100MS/s (from both channels), which amounts to 800MB/s, 6.4
