It depends on your specific needs and use case whether upgrading to a PCIe 5.0 SSD will be worthwhile at this point. Here are a few things to consider:

Compatibility

• Make sure your motherboard has a PCIe 5.0 slot that supports the faster speeds. Many current motherboards max out at PCIe 4.0.
• Confirm your CPU also supports PCIe 5.0. Intel's 12th gen Alder Lake and 13th gen Raptor Lake processors do, as well as AMD's Ryzen 7000 series.

Performance

• PCIe 5.0 SSDs can theoretically reach speeds up to 14GB/s, double that of PCIe 4.0. However, real-world performance will likely be lower.
• For gaming and general use, you likely won't notice a huge difference over current fast PCIe 4.0 drives. DirectStorage may change this on the gaming front.
• Workloads like 4K/8K video editing, 3D rendering, and large file transfers could benefit more from the faster speeds.

Price

• As a brand new technology, PCIe 5.0 SSDs will come at a significant price premium over PCIe 4.0 and especially PCIe 3.0 drives.
• Prices will come down over time, but it's still early. The value proposition isn't quite there yet for most users.

Capacity

• Initial PCIe 5.0 drives seem to top out at 2TB currently, while PCIe 4.0 drives are available up to 4TB and PCIe 3.0 up to 8TB.
• If you need more than 2TB of very high-speed storage, PCIe 5.0 may not be the right choice just yet.

The bottom line is PCIe 5.0 drives are very cutting-edge and expensive right now. They're mainly aimed at high-end workstations and enthusiasts. For gaming and mainstream use, PCIe 4.0 SSDs are still an excellent choice and provide great performance at a much better value. Unless you have a specific need for the fastest possible storage speeds, it's probably worth waiting for PCIe 5.0 to mature a bit before upgrading. But if you do decide to be an early adopter, make sure you have a compatible system that can take full advantage of the new drives.

When PCIe 5.0 SSD price went down, it worth upgrade.
