Cheapest 2TB NVMe SSD

[watzup_ken]

if i not wrong, b550 boards also can support 1gen 4 ssd if using as boot drive... for new rig builders should go for gen 4 ssd ba for future proofing if cost isn't a concern?

I am not sure if its going to be future proof to go for PCI-E 4.0 SSDs. Future proof means one should be able to realize the untapped potential over time. But the truth is, it really depends on an individuals' usage. For most peoples' usage, they can't tell if they are using a SATA3 or NVME SSD in the first place in their normal day to day usage. The premium over PCI-E 3.0 SSD is also quite steep at this point.

The only reason to get pci-e 4 ssd is if u intend, in the future, to install it in ps5, once sony release update to enable ps5 ssd slot.

Agree. I think Sony already mentioned that they will provide a list of SSD that will work well for the PS5. Its not any PCI-E 4.0 SSD.

Also, I thought the topic was about SSD for PC. Not sure why it got side tracked to PS5.

does PCI 4 generate more heat?

Depend what you are using, if gaming definitely so preferably a motherboard with M.2 heatsink.
Both PCI3 and 4 generate heat but depend what you are doing.

Generally they run hotter because of the higher transfer rate.
