So I had to decide which main drive I was gonna get, PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 NVMe SSD. Make it short : I decided to get the Corsair MP600 Pro 1TB on sale which at 155€ is 25€ more than the non-pro which was also on sale. I figured if I was gonna go 4.0 I should go with the current performance standard instead of getting the very first PCIe 4.0 SSD.
Why not 3.0 and maybe get 2TB instead of 1TB? Well I'm on a X570 board and with Windows 11 coming, a PCIe 4.0 SSD is more future proof. If I got a 2TB PCIe 3.0 SSD NOW I'd be stuck with it. This way I can still get a 1-2TB PCIe 3.0 SSD down the line but have a really fast main drive.
Do you agree? I've agonized over this.
