Living on the bleeding-edge of technology isn't cheap, but today, early on adopters can save some scratch on next-gen storage technology that just launched on Sunday. If you've already bought yourself a Ryzen 3000 central processing unit and an X570 motherboard, you've got everything you need to run supercharged PCIe 4.0 SSDs. Third-party Amazon marketer Store4PC is selling the 1TB Sabrent Rocket M.2 "gumstick" for $40 away and the 2TB version for $30 off—if you know the befitting voucher code for for each one.

It's awfully early to take in sales on such untested products, but we'll take it. And then here's how it works. You can pick-up the 1TB Rocket for $200 with the voucher code 17ZY8VF3, and the 2TB rendering for $400 with the code 0769M99T (chapeau tip to Slickdeals for these deals). The 1TB version is normally $240 on Amazon while the 2TB version ordinarily costs $430. And yes, both pack the blazing-fast new PCIe 4.0 interface.

We haven't tested the new Sabrent SSDs, but they use the same Phison controller As the Aorus and Corsair SSDs we byword at Computex. The end result is that you can see read speeds as high as 5,000MB/s on these PCIe 4.0 drives. That's a nice bump in speeds considering that the lead SSDs using PCIe 3.0 are about 3,500MB/s.

That's all thanks to PCIe 4.0, the new connection standard that is solely available happening X570 motherboards with a Ryzen 3000 processor installed. If you have a different motherboard they should still fit in an M.2 slot, but they will be limited to PCIe 3.0 speeds—entirely negating the understanding for acquiring so much a high-priced motor.

Still, if you don't have an X570 board, but are planning to get wind the components to build a kick-ass Ryzen PC, today's deal on PCIe 4.0 M.2 drives is a bully way to kickoff.
