Gigabyte Announces the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD with Capacities up to 4 TB

That 2nd one looks more like a USB hair dryer.

I need a pair on the back-plate of my GTX 980 to turn it into a space ship. It's even got green led lights so clearly Nvidia was forward thinking about the concept of the GTX full blower space shuttle.

I am looking forward to se how performance is going to scale with pcie 4

I'd be surprised if there's any significant difference to the very best PCIe 4.0 drives, but maybe a little bit faster in some tests.
Denser NAND is what might make a difference, but it doesn't look like these first gen drives will have that.

Nothing to wait for. This thing does 62 MB/s random reads. Current PCIe4 drives typically do anywhere between 60 and 95 MB/s.

I am waiting for more drives to come out - looking forward for some Kingston product and WD - Have currently tried 4 gen 1 Corsair and Gigabyte and 4 gen 2 WD and Seagate - the later was a turn down and died after 8 months

its still early into pcie5 era, if speeds dont improve next year, why bother developing pcie6?

For servers.

Although 10k gb/s is tempting but i am Still waiting for ssd do more than 335mb 4k read my optane does to upgrade it 62mb is just 2 low i am afraid it will feel less responsive hope we get the toshiba ssd that spoused to answer optane for less price or gen 5 pcie optane

And while the sequentials are amazing, the 4kQD1 reads and writes are no better than my PCIe Gen3 Samsung 960 pro when it was new. So to upgrade my my 960 pro the SK hynix P4 looks to be the only option so far with R/W of 96 & 350MB/s. I look forward to the day when I see an NVME SSD get even half as fast as optane in 4KQD1 Reads which was 250-300MB/s.

Looks cool. Where can I get one!

It's almost $30.

Maybe this is the one to get, but I'm not quite sure how the heat is dissipated...

with that many pipes?!

10°C- 25°C Cooling Effect(Varies depending on the environment).

Forget passive cooling or active cooling for nvme ssd. 5 gen gets so dam hot, you need to water cool these darn things.

If you guys had the choice, would you prefer a Gen3 960GB Intel Optane 905P for your OS drive, or a Gen4 2TB Seagate Firecuda 530 ?

Yeah, doh, but that is not in the choice.

The numbers are all in Optane's favor. But with limited compatibility and being discontinued, it's not an automatic pick for everyone.

I'm asking because I actually have an Optane 905P on my older system (Intel 9900K, DDR4, etc), and just recently upgraded to a Z690 system (12900K, DDR5, etc).

Since I needed to keep everything working while I migrated everything from the old to the new system, I added a Seagate 530 Firecuda as the main OS drive for the new system.

Now that the migration is complete I have a very expensive 905P doing basically nothing in my old system (I can replace it with a spare Gen3 970 EVO I have here to keep the old system going if necessary) and was wondering if I should replace the Gen4 530 in the new system with the Optane despite the latter being Gen3 (the 530 would then be relegated to holding my library of Steam games, of course).

It's just that doing this involves a lot of swapping stuff around and I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Yes, you'd be better off with Optane as your OS drive.
As I said above, SSDs have trouble doing 100MB/s random reads while Optane easily does 3x that. Of the things you do with your storage, the vast majority is random reads.

PCIe addon card versions should have no problems running on AMD systems.
