With PCIe Gen 4.0 slowly making its entrance, the storage manufacturers take happily advantage of that. Silicon Motion is to release two PCIe 4.0 ssd controllers for a release in 2020. The units are named SM2267 and SM2264 are offer four and eight-channel controllers with nvme 1.3 support.

SM2264 will be the eight-channel part and can hold a max of of 16 TB of NANF FLASH with perf expected running up towards ~6.5 GB/s with writes at 3.9 GB/s IOPS listed are 700k IOPS. The SM2267 has four channels. Reading and writing would go with respectively 4 and 3 GB/s with 400k iops which almost sound slow lol. The support will support TLC and QLC NAND and arrive onto the market in 2020.

never, SATA is a dead standard, the future is either nvme or USB 3.2.

not even SAS is being worked on anymore.
