High Performance Speeds
Customers are highly satisfied with the high performance speeds of the Verbatim SSD, which reaches up to 7000MB/s read and 6400MB/s write as advertised.

Also games are starting to use directstorage and the discount to drop down to half the speed gen 3 drives is not enough to really consider unless i was looking at a 3rd drive for store and forget stuff

Also of note im aware this is slower than gen 5 drives but gen 5 drives are super expensive and if you dont have a gen 5 slot or are doing constant data transfers that will actually hit the speeds regularly theres little performance gains once you get near the max of gen 4 speeds for most daily use cases
