I'm curious if these drives even exceed the bus of Gen4 that they had to be Gen5 or if that's just for bragging rights at this point.
Actually, yes this will exceed PCIe 4.0 writes speeds for not insubstantial bursts: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-c...d-review/2
Really, the main benefit would be if you are running on reduced lanes; PCIe x1 slots and CPUs/chipsets that only feed 2 lanes per M.2.
FWIW, I had a Crucial M.2 drive fail within a year of purchase, and I submitted a warranty claim.
With their chat, they provided instructions on how to use their diagnostics tool, and the Crucial rep could see that the drive was almost completely dead. However, they required me to send the defective M.2 drive before they would send a replacement. Then it took 3 to 4 weeks for them to send the replacement.

That's generally how most RMAs work these days, was the same with Corsair when I RMAd an H80i V2, and ASRock when I RMAd an ASRock x670e of lightning. I'm in new England and most of these companies have you ground ship to a warehouse in California, which takes about a week each way

Is this a slower tier gen 5? I thought they were supposed to be closer to 12000 or 14000. My gen 4 does like 7,000 read 5000 write
It is a budget and slower gen 5. I've just purchased an SSD and, looking at a couple of reviews, for generic use (office, gaming) I found the WD 850x on offer at Walmart to be a better choice, though it is unlikely I would have noted any difference if buying this one.

How is the 850x a better offer when it's more expensive at $139 while also being slower at 7300 mbps?

Nice, I know PCI 4 had some other improvements besides speed, like whatever that tech was called where it basically talks directly to the memory so it can load new content instantly. It was called Direct Write or something like that.
I'm curious if Gen 5 has similar benefits besides just pure speed?

TLC + DRAM cache is the best combo for durability and sustained performance.
10k-12k advertised speed that quickly drops to a crawl wouldn't be great, would it? not saying this particular nvme does that or not but gotta check.

Understandable about the TLC argument, though longevity with this drive is already excellent.
As far as the speed, in steady-state write performance test by Tom's Hardware, the SN850 crawls to 1,600 MB/S after 15 minutes, while this drive only slowed to 4,021 MB/S. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-c...d-review/2
