Why do you use the SK Hynix P41 vs the Solidigm P44 Pro?
The cooling fans on gen5 is a certain turn off for myself, where with the Gen4 I can just use the motherboard's heatsinks on a bare drive. Since it seems the gen5 drives need so much cooling, could we expect to see PCIe 5.0 x4 slot drive that had more surface area and can even have a blower fan exhausting out the back? I know it can be hard to find motherboard's that have many extra slots anymore, but there are some

I would rather we took the PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot and turned it into two x2 slots at this point.
The PCIe bandwidth is outpacing the thermal output of these drives so much that they need active cooling to stay reasonably cool.
Half the lanes and double the ports, that way we can allow fabrication process and controller efficiency a PCIe generation to catch up and give ourselves a bit more connectivity.

Great comparison lineup, but i miss the more spreaded type like samsung 990 Pro (not assumming that the results would significantly vary, but its known as the fasstest NVME Gen4). But i would highlight the inclusion of optane.

700 NZ for 2TB... That's more than double the price of a 2TB 7000 MB/s Gen4 drive. That's just not worth it.
I'd rather buy two gen4 2TB drives, and you'd have enough money left over for a smaller capacity boot drive too!

I remember putting spinning hard drives in raid 0 to get a little speed bump- the speeds now are like space age futuristic in comparison!
Awesome video

1:37 Gordon's Testing Rig .. yeah the Pros at work here. Real World .. absolutely no one would notice any difference between any decent M.2 PCIe 3, 4 or 5!

Please test Gen 5 drives using thin heat spreaders, which is the most common type of heat spreader available in mid end motherboards.

Summary
My X670E-PRO WIFI has a PCIe 5.0 slot so of COURSE I need to buy 1 of these.
Will I ever use it? Absolutely not.
Still need it.

It is rarely worth it when a brand new technology is just released due to growing pains and price. I always wait a year or 2.
