Hello, Noob here... Im considering to buy an "SSD disk M.2 (PCIe 3.0 4x NVMe), TLC (Triple-Level Cell)" however my motherboard only have one 4.0 PCIe and one 5.0 PCIe slot, IS THE 3.0 PCIe SSD gonna work just fine or should I rather get the higher number SSD into that 4.0 slot?

Additionally do I need to put a heatsink on that 3.0 PCIe SSD too if its compatible and decide to get one into that 4.0 slot?

Thanks :)
