Do I need a PCIe 4.0 slot to use it?

It works in a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot at full rated speed. In a PCIe 3.0 slot it still works but runs at Gen3 speeds.

Does it come with a heatsink?

This version is a bare M.2 2280 drive without a heatsink. A motherboard heatsink or aftermarket one helps under sustained writes.

Yes. Its high read speeds cut load times for large games, and 2TB holds a big library.

It fits devices with an M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe. Check your laptop's slot length and keying before buying.

It is roughly twice as fast on sequential reads as typical Gen3 drives, which matters for large file transfers and heavy workloads.
