Released in June 2017, PCIe Gen 4 SSDs are solid state drives that utilize the PCIe 4.0 interface, offering significantly faster data transfer rates compared to previous generations. These SSDs can achieve read and write speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s or more, making them ideal for tasks requiring high performance, such as gaming, and heavy data processing. They are commonly used in modern PCs and gaming consoles that support PCIe 4.0.
Gen3 and Gen4 SSDs primarily differ in their interface speed. Gen3 SSDs use the PCIe 3.0 interface, while Gen4 SSDs utilize PCIe 4.0. PCIe 4.0 offers significally higher data transfer rates copmared to PCIe 3.0. With taster boots, loads, and saves with 7,400/7,000MB/s sequential reads/writes1 — the Crucial T500 PCle® 4.0 NVMe® SSD is more than 2x faster than Gen3 SSDs and 12x faster5 than SATA, improving system performance from the moment of installation.
Choosing between a Gen4 and Gen5 SSD depends on your specific needs. Gen5 SSDs offer faster speeds, making them ideal for tasks like high-performance gaming, 8k video editing, and other demanding applications. However, Gen4 SSDs are still plenty fast for most users and often come at a lower price point, making them a more cost-effective option for everyday use or less demanding tasks. Ultimately, it comes down to your budget and the level of performance you require.
Upgrading your PS5 or PS4 SSD can significantly improve your gameplay by reducing load times, allowing for faster data transfer rates, and providing more storage space for your games and apps. You can visit our Sony PlayStation 5 SSD Upgrades or Sony PlayStation 4 SSD Upgrades page for more details on compatible SSDs.

PCIe NVMe Gen 4 operates at speeds of 16 GT/s or 16 gigatransfers per second. This is a speed of around 7,000 MB/s and is twice as fast as a PCIe Gen 3. These speeds are perfect for gamers, grapic designers and content creators as they offer faster speeds to support larger files and applications.
Typical I/O performance as measured using CrystalDiskMark® with write cache enabled. Windows 11 Core isolation disabled for performance measurement. Fresh out-of-box (FOB) state is assumed. For performance measurement purposes, the SSD may be restored to FOB state using the secure erase command. System variations will affect measured results.
