lightning bolts (symbols used for PCIe)

Lightning bolts in PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) symbols typically indicate high-speed data transfer or power delivery capabilities. They represent the fast, efficient, and sometimes high-voltage signals that enable quick communication between components like graphics cards, SSDs, and motherboards. The lightning bolt signifies performance and speed, highlighting that the connection supports rapid data exchange essential for demanding applications such as gaming, video editing, and data processing. Essentially, it’s a visual cue to show that the PCIe slot or device is designed for high performance.
