About This Product
The Mushkin ALPHA is a 4TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD utilizing a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. While offering a large capacity, its PCIe Gen 3 interface means it will not match the sequential read/write speeds of newer PCIe Gen 4 or Gen 5 drives. This drive is suitable for users needing high storage capacity for general computing or gaming where peak Gen 4/5 speeds are not a priority.
