A system for switching between a high performance mode and dual path mode is disclosed. The system includes a first device, a second device, a third device, and a switch configured to receive control signals, and in response causing the switch to selectively couple one or more first lanes of the first device or one or more second lanes of the second device to third lanes of the third device to yield enabled lanes. The system also include a number of the enabled lanes is less than or equal to a number of the third lanes, and the switch is configured to route the enabled lanes associated with the first device to a first portion of the third lanes in an increasing order and to route the enabled lanes associated with the second device to a second portion of the third lanes in a decreasing order.
