Haha, touché- forgot the Pi5 only has a single lane.
The comment came out of knowing if the cable's a little dodgy the timing could be off- scrambling the PCIe signals (easier to just tape it off than look up if its supposed to matter and then tape it off anyway), and the fact my first HBA had the "QC pass" sticker prevent some lanes from connecting and the whole card was unresponsive as a result.
