Hello,

Im looking to put a new SSD into my laptop. I have an Auros 5 KE. The processor is an i7-12700H which according to intel spec sheet has a Microprocessor PCIe 4.0, chipset/PHC PCIe Version 3.0. Device manager says my current 1TB is an Aorus AG470S1TB-SI B10. This is a pretty fast Gen4 SSD. Device manager also states my standard NVM Express controller PCI Bus 3

My question is, do I really need a G4 SSD, as a second drive in my laptop, if it seems its only G3 capable? Or am I wrong in my interpretation?

I can’t believe I missed that there. I even went there first to see that they were 2280. Looks like my old name sorta stands the test of time 😂. Maybe I was on the Canadian page
 
if it is just normal day to day usage, it wont matter even if you threw a gen 2 NVMe in there, they are all going to be fast.
