Frequently Asked Questions: Gen 4 SSD

What are gen 4 SSDs?

Gen 4 SSDs are solid-state drives that utilize the PCIe 4.0 interface standard, offering double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0. They deliver sequential read/write speeds up to 7,400+ MB/s for dramatically improved performance. This technology represents the current mainstream standard for high-performance storage solutions.

Is Gen4 SSD good for gaming?

Yes, Gen 4 SSDs are excellent for gaming, providing significantly faster game loading times and smoother texture streaming. They support DirectStorage technology, which allows games to load assets more efficiently and reduce CPU overhead. Modern gaming titles increasingly benefit from the enhanced bandwidth Gen 4 provides.

What is the fastest Gen 4 SSD?

The fastest Gen 4 SSDs currently achieve sequential read speeds around 7,400 MB/s and write speeds near 6,600 MB/s. KingSpec's premium Gen 4 offerings compete at the top tier of performance within this generation. Actual speeds depend on specific models, controller technology, and thermal management solutions.

Is gen 4 or 5 SSD better?

Gen 5 SSDs offer higher theoretical speeds (up to 14,000 MB/s) but are significantly more expensive and generate more heat. For most users, Gen 4 provides the best balance of performance, cost, and thermal efficiency. Gen 4 remains the optimal choice for gaming and general use in 2026.
