The article highlights that while PCIe 5.0 SSDs, like the Samsung 9100 Pro, offer impressive speeds, they are not significantly beneficial to most users currently. With most gaming devices and PCs built around PCIe 4.0, the actual performance improvements during real-world usage are minimal. Testing comparisons show only slight differences in loading times, questioning the value of upgrading systems for negligible speed gains. Until more rigorous testing is done, particularly with the 9100 Pro, the excitement around PCIe 5.0 may be premature for many users.
Most mainstream gaming devices and PCs aren't built to take advantage of PCIe 5.0 speeds. Even if compatible, they don’t provide significant performance differences over PCIe 4.0.
Testing results indicate that the loading speed differences between PCIe 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 SSDs are minimal, often just one to three seconds.
With the Samsung 9100 Pro, although it boasts faster speeds, practical testing hasn’t shown a compelling reason to upgrade existing PCIe 4.0 setups.
Without thorough testing of the Samsung 9100 Pro, it’s premature to assume it outperforms existing PCIe 4.0 models based on advertised specifications.
