Tempting...

This is a fast and quick drive....

It's not just a one trick pony, so using it on some slow PCIe 2.0 slot won't be a waste.

This is probably the first Gen 5 Value Drive I've seen on the market. Consider this:

PCIe G3: 3000 MBPS
PCIe G4v: 5000 MBPS
PCIe G4p: 7000 MBPS
PCIe G5p: 14000 MBPS
PCIe G5v: 10000 MBPS

This MSI drive is TLC (which is good) BUT it has no DRAM cache. So if you are writing a ton of data to the drive at once, you will have to wait. If you had a drive with DRAM cache, it would fly until the cache is saturated, then you would have to wait. At the end of the day, my understanding is that a drive will boot windows maybe a second faster with PCIe G5p than it does with Gen 3 or Gen 4v.

DRAM is not a write cache. It makes little difference for sustained writes. the pSLC cache is the write cache. DRAM is used to store a copy of the mapping table (FTL) and mostly affects random reads.

So are you saying that a 3000 MBPS will perform pretty much the same as a 14000 MBPS??? if the Gen 3 doesnt have DRAM the i call BS. If the Gen 3 does have DRAM, i still call BS.

Not at all what I am saying. However, unless you are writing out 14000 MB (14 GB) quickly, you will not notice the difference.

Good for a game drive I guess. Subjectively the fastest ssd I've had for a system windows disk has been intel optane.

This is the M560. You linked to the M580. M580 is designed to be significantly faster, between the giant cooler and the faster controller (E26 vs E31t).
