PCI-E 2.0 1x = 5Gbps, so slightly slower than the theoretical 6Gbps of SATA.
Unless you've a need for older 2.5" drives in the future (e.g. reuse it for a retro PC or the like), then NVMe gives you more choice even if it would be bottlenecked

Got the nvme to x1 pcie card adapter on order.
I suspect sata 3 will be faster on sustained transfers vs pcie v2 x1 slot but guessing the nvme protocol will be better for random io stuff.
Also in future when i upgrade to faster boards with more native nvme slots and lanes the drive will get free speed boost.
