Thankfully these NVMEs are way overrated if we have to go by those recent DirectStorage benchmarks between Gen3, 4 and 5.
PerpetualOmega
yeah, Gen 3, 4, 5 are all worthy. Forget paying the newcomer premium.
TheDeeGee
Gen4 will be as fast as you need for a long time.
Even the Gen3 is only 2-3 seconds slower with DirectStorage.

"but less than 85mV when idle" When are these writers going to learn that voltage is not wattage/power? Its only part of it.

I guess not much good for mobo's with the M.2 under the GPU slot.

I recently built a new machine and went big on a 4TB gen4 for my games. Looking forward to not having to think about storage capacity or speeds for the next 5-7 years.

The early 4.0 Sabrent Rockets had a pretty big heat spreader on it too.
Undying
Faster is faster despite the drawbacks. That 3sec faster loading times will make a world of difference. :P

It isn't much better for the ones with the M.2 over the GPU slot. On mine, it looks like the two would likely be making contact with the M.2 heatsink potentially even resting on the top of the GPU. If I move either of them, I'm losing PCIE 5 and/or sharing bandwidth. The models with the fans look a tiny bit more narrow, but then you have to run a power cable to them and deal with the hassle that comes with having that cable and another fan. These are going to benefit from a different form factor in general.

Hey, bro, can your motherboard have two processors?
Nah, why ya ask?
Well, I can see you have two Noctuas coolers with 14cm fans
bruh, that's CPU and NVME cooler...
WTF?

Still stuck on 1tb and 2tb ssd sizes. When the hell will storage size increase? Shit is tiny.

Yeah, I paid like 350$ for my first 1TB SSD
Now for 400$ to 450$ you can get the fastest 4TB

Maxed out speed on GEN 4 is insanely fast.
I'd be buying 2TB or 4TB well before getting GEN 5

This size becomes really problematic once all m.2 are gen 5. Won't fit if used with a decent GPU
Alessio1989
in a benchmark specifically made to have loadings longer.
what is really interesting in gen5 and beyond with direct storage is streaming textures

Not gonna lie, I want this for my X399 Threadripper just because its over the top anyways with a massive dual 140mm cooler.

No one has mentioned that revision 1.1, which is what the public will get (after a first batch at best), will downgrade performance to PCIE3 levels without that being mentioned anywhere.

Hard pass.
I will wait for at most a non disruptive passive heatsink. 7k-10k just not worth the bulk and noise especially when I want 3 or 4 of these.
Nearly passed on the x570 because of the active chipset. At most for nvme I would go for like a x16 pcie board with room for 3-5 sticks with a mild passive cooler.
JiveTurkey
I member berry my first ssd, 160$ newegg flash deal was a 60gb ocz. Went bad in like two years but raided drives for oblivion was just too much hassle.

That is probably the worst benchmark you can choose whether you want a NVME or not.
TheDeeGee
It was poorly worded.
Gen3 compared to Gen4 and Gen5. With Gen3 being only 2-3 seconds slower in loading.
