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.
If, and that’s a big if, this becomes a trend, then we’re likely to see the m2 connector locations on the mobo change (at least the primary lane connected to the CPU).
But to your point, this definitely won’t fit under a GPU lol
