SATA vs NVMe PCIe Gen3 vs NVME PCIe Gen4 PerformanceД«elow you can see the speed comparison of the high-end SATA, NVMe PCIe Gen3 and NVMe PCIe Gen4 solid state drives. So, if you are one of those people and want the fastest NVMe drive for your high-end PC, then here are some of the best options out there in the market. Because of their top-end performance and higher price, these drives remain the choice of enthusiasts only, who always want the fastest available hardware out there in the market, whether it is a processor, graphics card, memory or even an SSD. Also, these drives cost more than the PCIe Gen3 drives. This is why almost all of them come with heatsink/heatspreader for cooling, and it is not recommended to use them without proper cooling. These PCIe Gen4 drives offer tremendous performance at ultra-fast speed and due to this, they get very hot. This is now possible with the launch of the NVMe PCIe Gen4 solid state drives that run faster than the PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives. To utilize the PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth, you need an NVMe SSD that is capable of running at PCIe 4.0 x4. The PCIe 4.0 x4 interface delivers a bandwidth of about 7.88 GB/s, which is double the bandwidth offered by PCIe 3.0 x4. This gap is now further widened with the launch of the new PCIe 4.0 standard that is twice as fast as PCIe 3.0. The fastest SATA interface, which is SATA III operates at 6Gbps or 750 MB/s and PCIe 3.0 x4 at 3.94 GB/s (~4GB/s). NVMe SSDs use the PCI-Express bus for transferring data, which is a must faster interface compared to the SATA. They are almost four to five times faster than the best SATA solid states drives, which is just incredible because even the top SATA SSDs offer great performance and are five times faster than a mechanical hard drive. When it comes to storage drives, particularly solid state drives, then NVMe SSDs are the fastest of all. Thank you for supporting the work I put into this site!)
