Hi, How noticeable is the difference in real-world performance between PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 SSDs in everyday use (e.g., game loading, working with large files, rendering)? I am selecting an SSD for my system and have noticed that PCIe Gen 5.0 drives are entering the market. They claim impressive read and write speeds (e.g., up to 12,000 MB/s).

Imperceptible without some really unusual use-cases. For now, don't spend extra money for a disk just because it has the latest interface. Those impressive speeds are typically sustained read/write, which doesn't happen as often in the wild as random accesses do. Most notable performance benefits from SSD's come from their low latency and random access performance.

Can I use this SSD with a motherboard that has M.2 SSD/NVMe slots?

Yes, the SSD is compatible with devices that have an M.2 slot, as stated in its compatibility details.
