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.
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.
