SSD - Gen4 vs. Gen5 for Gaming PC

Posted by Intelligent_Shame611@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 22 comments

Hi guys,

I am in the process of building a new gaming PC mainly to play MSFS24. CPU 9800X3D, probably RTX5070ti, 64 GB ram bought before the craziness started. With prices for SSDs going crazy, I am wondering if it makes sense to pay almost 600 USD (I am not in US, these are the prices here) for 4TB 5 gen SSD (Crucial T710) or settle for a 4 gen which would cost 400USD for 4TB (Crucial P3 Plus).

Would the Gen 5 really have an impact on performance? Any help/suggestion is greatly appreciated as it is difficult to find it on this subject. Thx!
