Gigabyte has announced the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD, which as the name suggests, aims to break the 10 GB/s barrier on sequential reads and writes. Unfortunately, the brand has not yet revealed further details about the component.
However, a screenshot in the CrystalDiskMark benchmark points out that an AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD version with 1TB of storage was tested and achieved peak performance above 12GB/s.
Corsair, in turn, showed a preview of the preliminary benchmarks of the MP700 PCI-E 5.0 SSD, with more generic data showing sequential read and write values of 10 and 9.5 GB/s, respectively.
Finally, it should be noted that there are no further details about the models and variations, prices or release dates. However, the availability of the first PCI-E 5.0 SSDs is expected to coincide with that of the motherboards for AMD AM5 and Intel Core from 13th generation.
