KIOXIA announced that its lineup of PCIe 4.0 NVMeTM enterprise solid state drives (SSDs) has achieved PCI-SIG compliance for PCIe 4.0 and University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-I... KIOXIA PCIe 4.0 Enterprise NVMe SSDs Take Storage Performance to New Heights
The extra best case scenario read performance of PCIe 4.0 is nice but for the average Joe/Jane we really need better underlying storage tech to improve worst case performance (4KQ1T1 read).
Now 7GB/sec read speed is more like it not the small bump from 3.5GB/sec to 5GB/sec for PCIe 4.0. Need faster speeds normally it means little to games but modding out rougetech for Battletech which has to uncompress files and preload takes a while for the game to launch, NVMe takes around 40 seconds, SSD about 1+ minute and a HDD just forget about it that can take 10+ minutes
