11 GB/s read speed is good, but there are PCIe 5.0 x4 drives (from the usual suspects) that achieve almost 14 GB/s at a queue depth of 1. If LEXAR are not arguing in bad faith, then the 11 GB/s are at QD1. For example, at QD1 LEXAR NM1090 Pro PCIe 5.0 x4 drive, which may be called predecessor of this Thor Ultra, achieves only ~5.2 GB/s (source: TPU).
