I'm sometimes asked why we don't often recommend Gen 5 NVMe drives (although, to be fair, we do recommend one). Alright, I don't get asked it that often I guess, but the answer remains the same as it was when they first came out—they're very fast, but so are Gen 4 drives, at least for gaming.
More than that, they're pricey, again compared to Gen 4. And then there's the kicker—they also have a tendency to run very, very hot.
