"Storage has always been a bottleneck in terms of performance, and it's a demand-driven thing. As storage gets faster, so do the pressures put on it. This is why 5th-generation NVMe SSDs are such a game-changer for serious gamers who need all the speed they can get and pro-grade content creators, especially those who handle 100GB-plus files. Also: The best M.2 SSDs you can buy These drives offer twice the performance of the previous-generation hardware, and they've now been around for a bit, so prices have come down."
"The Crucial T710 2280 M.2 SSD is about as fast as they get. On paper, it's rated for sequential reads and writes up to 14,900 and 13,800MB/s, respectively. I've benchmarked a drive from this range and got results within 5% of these figures (well, at least I did once I updated the system's firmware to fix a performance issue). The drive supports AES-256 encryption and has a TBW (terabytes written) rating between 600TB and 2400TB (the larger the drive, the bigger the rating), and comes with a 5-year limited warranty."
"A fact of life about running Gen5 NVMe SSDs is that they run warm to hot. And the harder you work them, the hotter they get. This isn't usually a problem -- it certainly wasn't for me when testing the T710 -- but if your case has poor airflow or all the fans are choked up with dirt, you might want to sort that out or, at the very least, use a cooler."
Storage has long been a performance bottleneck, and faster storage creates greater demands. 5th-generation NVMe SSDs deliver roughly twice the performance of previous-generation drives, benefiting serious gamers and pro content creators working with 100GB-plus files. Prices have fallen as the hardware matures. Full Gen5 performance requires a Gen5-capable system, though the drives remain backward-compatible with Gen4 and Gen3 at reduced speeds. High-end models like the Crucial T710 report sequential read/write speeds up to 14,900/13,800 MB/s, support AES-256 encryption, and carry TBW ratings from about 600TB to 2400TB with a five-year limited warranty. Gen5 SSDs run warm to hot, so adequate airflow or active cooling is recommended.
