I definitely love Jeff's work and watch every video as they come out.? The
only caution I would raise is that he tends to be working on the bleeding edge
with Pi, so some of his older articles don't age too well, because once the
stuff he is working with becomes mainstreamed usually easier ways to do things
have been invented or discovered.? This is not the case for PCIe right now,
it is still "bleeding edge" and his stuff is still the best reference IMO.?
For USB I posted the Tom's Hardware link because I think it's easier for most
people to follow.? In particular Imager can be used to do some things Jeff
did manually.

I agree with Dave - should have noted that Jeff Geerling is an early adopter and he typically does not update his posts with information as features go mainstream. For example, I was following his guidance on setting up an NVMe drive using one of the PCIe adapters for the Raspberry Pi 5. Turns out it was missing one config change necessary to make it work with the production version of the board (but worked with the proto board he reviewed). That said, don't be afraid to use the Google or DuckDuckGo for any of the Pi-related questions posed in this forum. Get a consensus of advice and go with information that appears consistently across a number of YouTube videos and/or blog posts.
