Currently using a Crucial T500 4TB Gen4 M2 as my main drive. Zero issues.
Was thinking of giving a Gen5 drive a go like the WD SN8100 which is supposed to run reasonably cool.

Any reason (besides money), I shouldn't do this ?

As I use my PC for regular windows use (browsing, youtube, email) and gaming (replaced my Xbox Series X), I suspect the only thing I will notice is the higher temps.
Maybe I'm wrong.
