Frequently Asked Questions
Is PCIe 4.0 still relevant?
Absolutely. PCIe 5.0 SSDs are more expensive and run hotter, with minimal real-world performance gains for most users.
Do I need the heatsink version?
If your motherboard doesn't have an M.2 heatsink, yes. It helps maintain sustained performance during long writes.
