This is a PC gaming site, but it’s also worth noting that this particular model has also been attracting attention lately as one of the few SSDs fast enough to be used inside the PS5, making it doubly useful for owners of that next-gen console.
To use this drive at full speed, you’ll need a motherboard and CPU that supports PCIe 4.0. Right now, the best bet is a recent AMD or Intel processor with a 500-series motherboard (e.g. B550, X570 or Z590), but some older Z490 boards also support the standard when used with an 11th-gen Intel processor. It’s a bit complicated, but you can do an internet search for the name of your board plus “PCIe 4.0” to get a pretty good idea of whether it’s supported or not - motherboard manufacturers love to crow about all kinds of features, so odds are that any compatibility will be proclaimed proudly!
