A look at the performance and technical specifications of the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD
After Corsair and Samsung unveiled SSDs based on the PCIe Gen 5 interface, now it’s time for another well-known brand in the market, AORUS, to present its newest product, the Gen5 10000 SSD. One of the main features of this SSD is the sequential read and write speed of 12.5 and 10 GB/s. Stay with Lion Tech.
AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD is developed based on PCIe Gen 5.0 interface and in accordance with NVMe 2.0 and M.2 standards. Since we are close to the release of Ryzen 7000 processors, as a result, most computer hardware manufacturers are trying to adapt their products to the AM5 platform, which AORUS SSD also fully supports the Intel Z690 chipset, with the new generation Red Team platform. It is also compatible.
A look at the performance and technical specifications of the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD
In general, this SSD uses the standard 2280 M.2 form factor and is also equipped with a copper thermal pad to dissipate heat from the main parts. Since the company’s previous generation SSDs were all equipped with a Phison controller, we expect the manufacturer to go for the new E26 controller for the new generation.
AORUS has also shared information about the performance of the Gen5 10000 SSD, which may be the results obtained for the prototype of this product, but in the end we see very good results. Accordingly, the sequential read and write speed of this SSD is listed as 12.5 and 10 GB/s, respectively.
Also, Gigabyte’s official statement reads:
AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD is equipped with the new generation of ultra-fast 3D-TLC NAND flash memory, which makes its overall performance 55% higher than the current 4th generation drivers. This product will be available in the market in the capacity of 1 to 4 TB. The new SSD supports the PCIe Gen 5 interface, the new generation of GIGABYTE motherboards based on the Z690 chipset and above.
Faster performance than competitors
These figures are more compared to Corsair’s MP700 PCIe Gen 5 SSD, which was introduced last weekend, and as a result, we see an increase of 25 and 11% in the read and write speed of the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD compared to its new competitor. . However, you should note that this information is published by the manufacturer and we have to wait for real tests for a better review.
The fastest 4th generation SSD from AORUS brand had read and write speeds of 7000 and 5500 MB/s (with heatsink). Now, the company’s new generation SSD drive, in addition to improving performance by 79%, can perform well in the field of transferring information at a very high speed even without the need for a heatsink.
Currently, there is no talk about the time of access to this product and its price. But, according to recently published information, we found out that Samsung, E-Data and Team Group are also working on the development of SSDs based on PCIe Gen 5 interface, and according to them, they will be available by the end of this year.
