And just wondering what's everyone's predictions for when the £/gb for Gen5 drives would be comparable to current Gen4 drives.

ATM, Gen5 is about double £/gb as Gen4

I got a 2tb Crucial T700 6 months ago for £185, which at the time was only a bit more than PCIE4 drives. Don't know what prices are like now, but Black Friday/Cyber Monday is in 2 weeks

ATM, the prices for pcie5 is about double pcie4, that is without any sales. I will wait for BF/CM as I can live with a gen3 drive I have spare

Dunno but it certainly boots up into windows faster than my Western Digital pcie4 and copying files is insanely fast.

I wasnt intending on buying x5 only did so because I needed more storage and the price difference at the time was minimal.

Just looked, the one I bought is £238 now so gone up £53 since May.

I’ll use £185 as a benchmark for a T700, if something equivalent does come up around that price point, I might pull the trigger.

£185 for a t700 is not bad considering t500 (gen4) is about £140.
