1TB NVMe for ASRock B450 Pro4

looking to add a 1TB NVMe ssd for my desktop based on ASRock B450 Pro4.
should I go for -
1. Crucial P3 Plus 1TB PCIe 4.0 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD, up to 5000MB/s - CT1000P3PSSD8
for 5236

or

2. Western Digital WD Blue SN580 NVMe 1TB, Upto 4150MB/s, 5 Y Warranty, PCIe Gen 4 NVMe M.2 (2280), Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (WDS100T3B0E)
for 5899

WD is Gen 4 ssd but B450 Pro4 supports only Gen 3. will there be any advantage of gen 4?

thanks.

Get SN580 because it is TLC. Its max sequential R/W speeds will be capped at 3500MBps but realistically no difference as SN580 is barely a true Gen4 SSD

thanks mate

what about WD Black SN770 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD WDS100T3X0E available for ₹5,988 only? it has better speed and more tbw for similar price.
also, will this one need a heatsink / heat spreader?
thanks.

Yes, it is a better SSD
