why do you need gen 4? A gen 3 drive is about the same speed or faster(there is basically one consumer grade gen 4 drive out now),

 

what form factor? What capacity? Whats your use case?

well a gen 4 ssd is probably gonna be slower for the same price. Really don't get a gen 4 drive, no reason to for this workload, and if you need gen 4, wait till the good drives come out.

 

You really don't need much from a boot ssd, Get something like  a ex920, sx8200 pro, sabrent rocket

 

stil didn't tell us what form factor, capacity you want.

Gen 4 is semi a waste of money unless you're going to actually utilize that performance. My board supports Gen 4, and I decided since one was on sale, hey why not. In terms of bootup time, my Gen 3 ( 3,500 MB/s ) and Gen 4 ( 5000 MB/s ) have literally no difference in speed (it's maybe 1s different, which is within the margin of error), and you see no real difference in games, etc. (again, 1s margin of error). It's just extra speed that the typical user/gamer will never utilize unless you're going to use it for something where that bandwidth would actually be useful. And I can't think of too many things right now that would max that.

 

Well, unless you're actually MOVING files to that drive, then you'll see the difference.
