Samsung 980 Pro PCIe 4.0 SSD Rumored to Launch Within Two Months

I'm reading, but I'm talking about PCIe in general.

pcie 5.0 will start showing up on boards in late 2021. You won't see pcie 6 until 2023 at the earliest.

It's so slow.... how do we ever get beyond Mars.

I don't know why, but I'm picturing a massive, blinged-out gaming PC with crazy RGB lights drifting through space with fans going crazy. Maybe in one of those really exotic-looking cases.

I can think of ONE case in my experience where it is nvme or bust. And that's heavily modded FO4 with vsync decoupled on the load screens.

I got 32GB ram but I didn't know it would come in handy capacity wise. I have started using gimp with a bit more technical knowhow but not enough to know exactly which filter I want to use, so I keep my tests for comparison. I have allowed Gimp to use 75% of my ram and it does. I have 5500+ tabs in firefox and that maxes out my ram if I have both open. The save time on my 850 Evo is like 5min for a 9GB file. U would think because its such a large file it would be hitting the sequential transfer speeds but its not. I've held off on purchasing any NVME. I bought a 860 evo last black friday but that was before I decided to upgrade my PC.

So both my SSDs are Samsung, I'm not adverse to other manufacturers; but I might just get the 980pro even though I've only got evos so far. My RAM is Patriot Viper 4400 (samsung) Bdie, my monitor is a 144Hz Samsung. I believe my first hard drive was a 200GB Samsung spinpoint (https://www.newegg.com/samsung-spinpoint-p-series-sp2004c-200gb/p/N82E16822152022).
