Linux support for WD Black NVME 2018

I just ordered this drive to replace my existing Ubuntu drive. I appreciate the suggestion to disable low power mode with the latency parameter. I assume there isn’t any negative implications for this fix for desktop use? I’m also curious whether anyone has tried installing the 18.10 beta release to see if the newer kernel has fixed the problem. Although I’d prefer to run the LTS, I’d probably just install 18.10 if a newer kernel resolves the problem. Thanks!
