I have wanted to upgrade my storage for a while, and M.2 is the way. But I have a lot of doubt when it comes to speed, as I would like the most speed for my buck. My MB is the Asrock Z370-Pro4 and it has the Asrock Ultra M.2 slots running up to 32 Gb/s or 4000MB/s on a gen3 x4. But I was wondering if a gen4 x4 at 5000MB/s would still run at those speeds, or be limited to the 4000MB/s because the motherboard doesn't allow faster read/write? I am mostly in doubt because the motherboard is outdated, and has not been tested with faster speed gen3 x4's before.
Or will a 4000MB/s gen4 x4 still be doing worse compared to a gen3 x4 at 4000MB/s since the motherboard is made for gen3?
Thanks in advance, and have a nice day.
