My Network Card has the following settings:

Doubling the maximum Fibre Channel link rate from 8Gb to 16Gb and enhanced virtualization capabilities
I've had a look at my network card and its rated at:
LPE12002 8GB/S 2-PORT FC: PCI EXPRESS HBA DIAG OPTICS
So according to the specifications 8GB/s is correct as 8GB/s * 2 cards = 16GB/s
However looking at lspci -vv
Capabilities: [94] Express (v2)
LnkCap: Port #0, Speed 5GT/s, Width x8
Does that mean the on one port the card maximum supported speed is:
5GT/s = 4Gb(Gigabits) = 0.5GB/s Gigabytes
* Width x8 (Channels) = 4GB/s
So the maximum speed is 4GB/s * 2 ports = 8GB/s
Is that correct, or if not where am I going wrong?
