So, you need a PCIe M.2 solid state drive for your laptop or desktop and you aren t sure what type to buy, eh? Well, while your computer should support PCIe 5.0 SSDs and below, the performance will be determined by your machine s PCIe type. In other words, a PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot can only achieve PCIe 3.0 speeds at best even if you install a PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 SSD. And so, it usually doesn t make sense to spend a premium for a drive that is rated higher than your computer.
