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.
