Which is the fastest ssd for gaming? Price doesn't matter. You can consider heatsyncs if that matters.

 

-sabrent rocket pcie 4.0 nvme

-corsair mp688

You won't notice a difference for gaming with these super high end SSD's.

 

There's no reason to buy one of these over something like an MX500 or WD Blue if it's just for games

Gaming performance does not differ much between a good NVME and a good SATA SSD. Only a 10% at most difference (which could be 4 seconds or 1 second).

So there won't be much of a difference between these options.

If 840 Pro (a rather old SATA SSD) to EX920 (a much newer PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD) doesnt help me, then a PCIe 4 SSD wont help you either

You wont see much of a difference but the 'faster' ssds would be the 

sabrent rocket pcie 4.0 nvme (with the heatsink) and the corsair mp688. Personally it wouldn't make much of a difference no matter which way you go, but samsung's ssd/nvme lineup is usually overpriced

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.
