Perhaps the 990 Evo's most unique selling point is that it supports PCIe 5.0, but only with two lanes, which is equivalent to the bandwidth of the four lanes of PCIe 4.0 that it also offers. PCIe 4.0 SSDs work completely fine on PCIe 5.0 slots, so there's technically no advantage for the 990 Evo to support PCIe 5.0, especially when it's not even bottlenecked by its PCIe 4.0 connection.

This is a native PCIe NVMe drive. It slots into a PCIe x8 or x16 slot on the motherboard.
May require a high profile PCIe bracket, available here ($7) [ebay.com]
Up to 5500/1800 MB/s read/write (requires Gen 3PCIe x8)
Gen 3 NVMe
Excellent read and OK write speeds, extremely high endurance (29.2 PBW)
Looking at them,
"Please make sure this drive is compatible with your system before purchasing. These are Server Drives"
Any comments?
I was intending on adding an SSD 4TB to a smaller system for general use (about $180) but wouldn't mind saving a few bucks if these are solid and compatible. (I noticed your link was to an NVMe version) Thanks!

This one would be great though if you don't have a motherboard NVME slot, or don't want to use it since you are using it for Wifi and/or a Coral TPU chip

I appreciate you!

I'm in your camp, but some people need that speed all day and night.
Get a NAS if you have the same issue across multiple devices. Otherwise, just a big ol' hard drive for the less frequently accessed stuff.
If you just want 1TB, I don't think you'll see Gen3 drives much cheaper. But if you want 2TB it might be worth being patient if you want to save $20 - $30.
I was able to grab the fastest drive you can buy T705 for $99 1tb before they sold out .
If you're looking for the best you want this one they're on backorder right now. 13,000+mb a second. Insane…

How could I copy my current 256GB drive and files into this new 1TB drive?
