Quick Answer

Evetech delivers Gen 5 NVMe SSDs to Bryanston in 1–2 business days, and click-and-collect at the Elandsfontein warehouse is about a 25-minute drive. Top picks are the Crucial T705 1 TB (R2,800) for maximum speed and the Seagate FireCuda 540 1 TB (R2,600) for better value. PCIe 5.0 M.2 motherboard support (AMD X670E or Intel Z790) is required for 12,000+ MB/s performance.

What Gen 5 NVMe Actually Delivers

Gen 5 NVMe drives reach 12,000–14,500 MB/s sequential read and 10,000–12,000 MB/s sequential write — double the speed of Gen 4. In practice, game load times on Gen 5 are 1–4 seconds faster than Gen 4. The more impactful use case is large file transfers: a 50 GB video project moves from another drive to Gen 5 in under 5 seconds. Professional and creative users in Bryanston benefit more than pure gamers.

FAQ

How long does Evetech take to deliver an SSD to Bryanston?

Orders placed before 11:00 on a weekday typically arrive the next morning. Bryanston is a well-serviced Gauteng suburb — 1–2 business day delivery is standard.

Do I need a specific motherboard for a Gen 5 NVMe SSD?

Yes — you need a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot. Check your board's manual: AMD X670E and B650E boards have it, as do some Z790 Intel boards. Running a Gen 5 drive in a Gen 4 slot gives you Gen 4 speeds only.

Is the Crucial T705 worth the price over a Gen 4 SSD for gaming?

For gaming alone, a quality Gen 4 SSD (R1,500–R1,800) is nearly as fast — load time differences are 1–3 seconds. The T705 at ~R2,800 is better justified for content creation, large file workflows, or future-proofing a new high-end build.

TIP

are upgrading an AM5 build in Bryanston, the Crucial T705 with heatsink is the cleanest Gen 5 drop-in — it fills the X670E's PCIe 5.0 slot perfectly and won't throttle even in warm SA summers.
