    How fast is it? A lot of m.2’s are cheap because they’re slow.

      I bought a WD Black 4TB gen4 nvme for just under $200 over the holidays.

      The listing says up to 7,300MB/s. I only have a gen3 SSD slot so I can’t verify that but it saturates the gen3 capabilities.

      It is so frustrating trying to buy a nvme ssd because they make it so unclear which models have DDR and which don’t. I tried to buy one recently to upgrade a family member’s computer and was wondering how a non technical person has any chance of finding something decent.
