The SK Hynix P41 2TB, which you indicated in your chart performs higher, is on sale at Amazon for the same price though, cheaper if you use an Amazon store card, so why buy the WD?

Where are all of those Gen 5 SSDs that were going to be available in November?

Gen 5 controller was just demonstrated... I would imagine first of the year you will see early adopters, but Q2-Q3 before the established players(Samsung, Kioxia, WD, Micron, & Hynic) start to release their pcieGen 5 SSDs.

Pointless upgrade, does not improve latency or Random IO performance, still SATA levels of performance. The uplift from top of line gen 3 to gen 4 SSD is barely perceivable(Sequential much faster if you can keep the pcie gen 4 cool), gen 4 to gen 5 will be even less perceptible. Why do people pine for gen 5 SSDs? You need 14GB/s transfer speed???
