We'll likely learn more about how efficient these drives are early next year at CES 2024 or not long after. So if you're not keen on a PCIe 5.0 drive due to fans and bulky coolers, you might not have long to wait for better options. Just don't expect them to be cheap when all signs are pointing to SSD price increases next year.

Doesn't it look like it's for PCI express?

Idk what you think those drives are made of.
Definitely not SATA or IDE.

Yeah just thought it looked more PCI-e. Well well.

Pci express is the communication standard. M.2 is the connection.

This form factor has existed for about 10 years at this point.
