They were all that price unless I went up to PCIe 4.0, which my laptop doesn't support. I got a well-known brand. But thanks for the heads up!

For future proofing it can be worthwhile to get a pcie4 drive for a pcie3 machine.

That said, even if you have a pcie4 machine it may not be worth it to bother with pcie4 storage. I was annoyed about loading times with baldurs gate 3 and decided to try installing it to a RAM disk (yes, using 130GB of RAM)... Barely loaded any faster. Turns out the main bottleneck is elsewhere and my storage was not the issue

It was for a laptop. I'm not going to be changing the motherboard to a PCIe 4.0 compatible one. By the time I buy a new laptop, I may need PCIe 5.0. I'm not sure, but I don't want to overspend now when by the time I need something it is cheaper. If PCIe 4.0 is more than $38 cheaper when I need it than now, then I saved money. And I doubt I'll be in the market for a new laptop any time soon. Mine is only 2 years old and still kicks ass.
