ya.. what about it?
means it can handle a 16x card, but will only operate at 4x which will result in lower bandwidth..
PCIe version 2 operates at a frequency of 5 GT/s (gigatransfers per second) per lane. This translates to a raw data transfer rate of approximately 500 MB/s per lane, effectively doubling the bandwidth compared to PCIe version 1. Additionally, PCIe 2.0 supports multiple lanes, allowing for greater overall throughput depending on the configuration, such as x1, x4, x8, or x16.
The sizes are x1, x4, x8 and x16. They support different bandwidth... Also x16 port might work in x8 mode only.
Depending on the make of your motherboard, and age of it. It could go in: ISA Slot (oldest) PCI Slot (old) AGP Slot (newer) PCIe (newest and recommended)Now the AGP (Advanced Graphics Port [or something like that]) had a couple variations through its life-cycle "x2 x4 x8"and the sub-families of PCIe:"x16 x8 x4 x2 x1"
The PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) slot is a high-speed interface used on motherboards to connect various hardware components, such as graphics cards, SSDs, and network cards. It allows for fast data transfer rates between the motherboard and these devices, enhancing overall system performance. PCIe slots come in different sizes (x1, x4, x8, x16) to accommodate different types of expansion cards based on their bandwidth requirements.
I would say about 4.

No, it's not. PCI-E 1x is compatible with PCI-E x4, x8, x16. PCI-E 4x is compatible with x8, x16 and so on.
Speed. x16 would be 16 times faster. the only other difference would be the size of the slot. if its a x1 pci slot only a x1 card will fit. however if its a x16 pci slot it can fit any pci_e card. x1,x4,x8,or x16

Yes this will work, however keep in mind that PCI-e 1.0 has a data rate limit of 250MB/s , and PCI-e 2.0 has a data rate limit of 500MB/s, So using a 2.1 card in a 1.0 bus limit it's data rate, and will not utilise the card to the fullest of it's capabilities.
It is an SSD drive which you connect through your pci-e ports on your desktop's motherboard, instead of through the conventional way of SATA connecters like Hard Drives, it is to improve the speed of read and writes mainly for boot ups and also for softwares if you have a big enough drive (capacity), the pci-e ports are also used for graphics cards and have speeds and power supplies identified as x16 x8 x4 and x1, revodrive uses speed and power of x4's so anything above x4 eg, x8 or x16 slots will be compatible.
