What gen? 3.0, 4.0? What use? General use and gaming a Western Digital Blue will be enough. If you're gonna be constantly writing terabytes every month for a profession then maybe a Samsung evo plus or pro plus, I get confused by the naming conventions.

video recording and editing will be ram hogs. Rendering a video will be fine. Game storage also won't make a difference to life of your SSD.

 

yes both gen 3 and 4 are fine but I'm asking more for what your motherboard supports. If it only supports up to gen 3, no point in spending extra for a gen 4 drive. If your motherboard supports gen 4, gen 4 drive should be the go to.

my motherboard supports both PCIe gen 3 and 4 (X570 Hero) and a 5800X3D
