I really wish Gen5 SSDs had become relevant by now, at least for what most people use their PCs for. The current inflated SSD prices aside, Gen5 SSDs just aren’t worth the investment if you’re a gamer or regular user. Plus, you need to deal with high thermals and giant coolers just to avoid throttling. While Gen4 SSDs seem like the default choice for the majority of users, most people will be just fine even with a Gen3 SSD. If you have one in your PC, there’s no rush to upgrade to a faster SSD. If you’re in the market for a new drive, that’s a different story.
