Hi @Ma3stros  search for ultra fast PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 MVMe, e.g. The Fastest M.2 NVMe SSD.  The 17 R5 does not support PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 MVMe, only get this to future proof install into your next laptop and make sure it is backward compatible with 17 R5 interface of PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 MVMe. However, if next laptop years away, pointless getting PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 MVMe. The best read/write speeds are usually 1TB or 2TB capacity, e.g. 10 Best 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD.

How did you get this to boot? It doesn't appear in my bios and I can't even benchmark it but it has my migrated OS on it
