Corsair MP600 PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD Pricing Out
It looks like SSD manufacturers such as Corsair will price some of the first M.2 PCIe gen 4.0 NVMe SSDs at a premium compared to existing drives that use PCIe gen 3.0. The company on the sidelines of Computex launched its MP600 series of high-end M.2 SSDs that take advantage of PCI-Express 4.0 x4 bus (64 Gbps) on the upcoming AMD "Valhalla" desktop platform, with up to 4950 MB/s of sequential read speeds. Ahead of their market availability alongside AMD Ryzen 3000 "Matisse" processors and AMD X570 chipset motherboards on July 7th, Cowcotland scored prices of the 1 TB and 2 TB models in Europe.
According to the French publication, the 1 TB variant of MP600 is priced at 249€ (0.24€ per GB), and the 2 TB variant at 449€ (0.22€ per GB), including VAT. To put these prices into perspective, the 960 GB variant of Corsair's current flagship SSD, the MP510, is priced at 160€, and its 1920 GB variant at 320€. Stateside, the Intel 660p 1 TB PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 NVMe drive is priced at $99.99 on Newegg, although it isn't generally counted as a premium SSD. Its 2 TB variant is priced at $192 on the same site. Nearly all client-segment PCIe gen 4.0 SSDs launched so far are built around the new Phison PS5016-E16 controller.

It should render these EOL. Hold yer horses people.
And corsair SSD sales is in no way good for AMD financially it's a different company.
And they recognize complains on heatsinks from people who even fried their M.2 drives with Alphacool, Aqua Computer and EKWB heatsink.
I afraid that Gen 4.0 could be overpass very fast.
For people who no unlimited budget maybe is better to wait and see what Intel plan to do with their new platform.
To use Gen 4.0 or immediately to accept Gen 5.0
The biggest issue may be the faster ones will use more power until newer chips are developed. Maybe gen 5 or 6 will actually need a 7nm or 6nm IO die and chipset to keep power/heat in check.
I thought it was made clear that heat is detrimental to the controller alone, not the memory chips ?
To bad EKWB sell pure crap from heatsink under own name and produce best possible model for WD.
Tragedy and people can't buy same model as installed on SN750
