Question Should I get a Gen 3 or Gen 4 NVMe SSD ?

[tomhumphreyregalado]

I have a system that supports pcie 4 so I am thinking about getting a gen 4 NVMe SSD (Aorus 7300 1TB for $110) to replace my old gen 3 main drive (Kingston A2000 250GB) as I am running out of space. However, I found a SX8200 Pro 1TB for around $60 and a 2TB model for $125. I'm leaning on getting the SX8200 Pro 1TB and save myself some money. I'm a casual user that plays a bit on my free time. The only time I edit is when I have school projects. Is it worth it getting the Aorus 7300 or just get the SX8200 Pro? There aren't a lot of good deals in my place as the market is filled with Kingston NV2's or Crucial P3's.

Well remember the 8200 had a lot of variations (I never had any issues out of mine)

s70 blade = 84
sabrent rocket 89
sabrent rock 4 plus 109
sn770 59
970 ev plus 55 bucks


so many good choices

If you're in the US, you can do better for the price. WD SN770 comes to mind.
