There are 2 nvme slots in the MSI laptop. OS is on the gen 4 and there is an empty gen 3 slot. Amazon is out of Crucial P3 2TB nvmes and oddly the gen 4 P3 Plus is cheaper and available. Is it true a gen 4 will run at max gen 3 speeds? Would there be any drawbacks to running gen 4 in a gen 3 slot? I'm leaning towards Crucial BTW because it appears to be MSI's OEM. Do you recommend any better options? I'm staying away from Samsung because of supposed early wear issues with their memory. Also upgrading the 16GB ram to (2x32GB) DDR4 3200MHz Any recommendations?

Certainly! Here is a revised version of your sentence:

Yes, and this is the sole disadvantage.

The instruction should be forward compatible.
