It is the industrys first SSDs featuring a PCIe 4.0 interface, to launch at Computex.
Compared to the previous one, each new generation doubles the bandwidth.
And the PCIe 4.0 can offer 16GT/s bit rate.
That is, every single lane supports roughly 2GB/s bit rate.
How fast is the Gigabyte PCIe 4.0 SSD?
According to this companys statement, it can reach 5GB/s read/write speeds in low temperatures.
In comparison, the fastest SATA SSDs typically reach 550MB/s read and 540MB/s write speeds.
Even the fastestSamsungs consumer 970 Pro M.2 NVMe SSDprovides 3500MB/s read and 2700MB/s write speeds.
Until now, Gigabyte hasnt revealed other information except the 5GB/s speed.
This means Gigabyte PCIe 4.0 SSD will be the fastest M.2 SSD in the market all over the world.
The PS5016-E16 processor has 8 NAND channels with 32CE targets, supports up to 800MT/s interface speeds.
And the controller features the 4thGen LDPC ECC engine and supports both 3D TLC and QLC NAND flash memory.
Besides, it also supports a DDR-41600 DRAM buffer to ensure high performance.
