Hello,
I have a Rpi5 8GB early revision with a official M2 adapter and NVME 128GB 2230 Kingston @ default Gen2 PCIEX speed for stability reason. I was wondering if any problems were ever found using Gen3 speed and in case of still keeping the default Gen2 connection which is the absolute fastest NVME disk I can use on the random IOPS need and situations. My actual config reach around random (both) 100.000 IOPS and 430 MB/s seq write speed with latest Raspberry official o.s. I was reading about the Crucial P310 NVME disk but wondering if at Gen2 speed I'd still get some improvements in random IOPS speed over a basic NVME I'm actually using.
I'm using the Rpi5 as the main home/office machine so I prefer compatibility and stability but still if there's space for increase speed without going out of specs I'd be happy about it.
Thank you.
