Frequently Asked Questions

What is NVMe?

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is a high-performance protocol for SSDs using PCIe lanes. NVMe drives are 3–10× faster than SATA SSDs, with PCIe 4.0 drives reaching 7,000 MB/s and PCIe 5.0 reaching 14,000 MB/s sequential read.

PCIe 4.0 vs PCIe 5.0 — which should I buy?

PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives offer excellent real-world performance at lower prices and with less heat output. PCIe 5.0 drives are faster in benchmarks but cost significantly more and require active cooling. For most users, a top PCIe 4.0 drive is the better value.

What NVMe slot does my motherboard have?

Check your motherboard manual or manufacturer's website. Most desktop motherboards from 2020+ have at least one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot. Laptops with 12th-gen Intel or AMD Ryzen 5000+ processors typically support PCIe 4.0. Older systems may be limited to PCIe 3.0.
