Is it worst to wait PCIE 5.0 NVME SSD?

[Milana]

Hello. My system now running on Samsung 970 evo 250gb M2 ssd. New Corsair MP700 running PCI-E 5.0 and has speed almost 3 times faster https://ssdrive.net/corsair-mp700-1-tb

I want to upgrade my storage to 2 tb, but now I can buy only Samsung 970 evo (because of price). Is it worst to wait PCI-e 5.0 SSD or buy now for next 2-3 years PCIE 3.0 SSD with moderate speed 3000mb/s?

Is PCIE 5.0 really make my system 3 times faster?

A PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSD won't make your sytem any faster unless your motherboard also supports PCIe 5.0. Even if the motherboard does support it, any visible increase in speed is unlikely to be large.

Thank you, I order 970 evo.

The odds of you being I/O bottlenecked are generally quite small (what's the main workload?), if you're impacted by price have a look at WD, the SN570 and SN770. They don't have DRAM, but perform competitively for stuff like games.

Is DRAMless drives much slower when copying files more than 500gb? I haven't use it yet, but I know that Samsung 980 come without DRAM and now 10$ cheaper than 970 evo. I want Samsung because of Magician, I don't like WD soft.
