My motherboard (GA-Z170X-Gaming-3) though 6 years old apparently does support Dual PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 Connectors with up to 32Gb/s Data Transfer (PCIe NVMe & SATA SSD support).
Thank you for the Samsung 970 Evo plus recommendation. This drive looks very good.

I have never bought an NVME drive before.
However from Videos I saw on Youtube and reviews on websites, I got the impression that if you can afford a NVME drive with DRAM you should opt for it for 3 main reasons. One better speeds (debatable whether this is noticeable or not) two potentially longer product life & three lower thermals.
Or am I overlooking something here? Any advice appreciated.
