On many NVMe drives the write speed lags well behind the read speed. On the 1 TB G440E the gap is small: 4000 MB/s read and 3900 MB/s write. That pays off when copying large video files, installing games and saving projects, so your work does not wait on the drive even when a lot of data moves at once.
Builders of a new PC whose motherboard supports a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive, gamers whose library no longer fits on a smaller drive, and video editors or photographers who move large files every day and need both capacity and fast writes.

Yes, a PCIe 4.0 drive is backward compatible. In a PCIe 3.0 slot the slot itself limits the speed, so 4000 MB/s will not be reached.
You need a PCIe slot that supports NVMe drives. The manufacturer does not specify the form factor, so check the supported drive size in your motherboard or laptop manual before installing.
Plenty of games fit alongside Windows and your programs. Modern games take up a lot of space, which makes 1 TB a sensible capacity for a gamer.
