The entire world industry has gone ..... GONE!
I mean, do the marketing guys even now that their statement "is the smart choice for gamers looking to easily upgrade their PCIe Gen 3 SSD to Gen 4" falls on its head as the speed of the drive is "can deliver read/write speeds of up to 3500/3000 MB/s" that are in fact PCIe gen 3 speeds! :D

Yeah and at the price point of a pci-e 4.0 drive as well. I mean I only paid $180 for my Sabrent rockets 1tb drives and bought four for a raid-0.

Interesting...
