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.

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.

I'm curious if Gen 5 has similar benefits besides just pure speed?
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.

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.tomshardwar
