About This Product
The Mushkin Tempest is a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD utilizing a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. It offers performance typical of mid-range PCIe Gen3 drives, suitable for general computing and gaming. While it provides a significant upgrade over SATA SSDs, it will not match the speeds of newer PCIe Gen4 or Gen5 NVMe drives in its price bracket.
