GIGABYTE bringt AORUS Gen5 offiziell auf den Markt 10000 NVMe-SSDs der Serie

GIGABYTE formally launched its flagship AORUS Gen5 10000 series M.2 NVMe SSDs that take advantage of a PCI-Express 5.0 x4-Schnittstelle. Aktuell, all AMD B650 series and X670 series motherboards offer a PCIe Gen 5 M.2 slot wired to the processor without eating into PEG bandwidth, while some Intel 700-series chipset motherboards offer Gen 5 M.2 slots by subtracting lanes from the PEG slot. AORUS Gen5 10000 for now comes in 1 TB and 2 TB-Kapazitäten. The drives combine a Phison E26 series controller with 3D TLC NAND flash memory and DDR4 DRAM cache.

Die 1 TB model offers sequential transfer speeds of up to 9.5 GB/s liest, mit bis zu 8.5 GB/s schreibt, und 700 TBW-Ausdauer; während die 2 TB model is faster, mit bis zu 10 GB/s sequential reads, bis zu 9.5 GB/s schreibt, und 1,400 TBW-Ausdauer. The drive’s power consumption is under 10 W, and GIGABYTE has deployed a thoughtful fanless cooling solution for the drive that spares you from the annoying high-pitched noise of other upcoming Gen 5 M.2 SSDs that use fan-heatsinks. Das Unternehmen hat keine Preise bekannt gegeben, but mentioned that the drives are backed by 5-year warranties.
