Hi, I'm no expert but will always try to find the answer elsewhere before reluctantly posting for help
I am looking to upgrade the ssd in my dell latitude 5400.the manual says suitability is a gen 3x4 up to 32gbps, 2280.
I have checked compatibility on the crucial website and there's a crucial t500 2tb PCIe Gen 4 NVMe @7400 mbps.
I also found a crucial p3 gen 3 up to 3500mbps which is also suitable and 30% cheaper.
I'm just wondering whether I'd get any possible benefit putting a gen 4 into a gen 3 slot, compared to a gen 3 ssd or whether I'm just wasting money. The laptop is only used for moving/ downloading and backing up data, it isn't used for any particular heavy, constant task
I'm probably over thinking it but I'm just looking for a direct answer. I could just buy another external hard drive but I already have 2 back ups, so I want a third that isn't external
Thanks and hope you can help.
