GIGABYTE Technology, one of the top global manufacturers of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, announces today the latest AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD with 10 GB/s read speed. Enhanced by the new generation PCIe 5.0 controller with ultra-fast 3D-TLC NAND Flash, AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD provides boosted performance of more than 55% over PCIe 4.0 SSDs and comes in 1 TB to 4 TB capacity variants using an M.2 2280 interface to deliver easy installation and superb capability. Additionally, the separate SSD and heatsink offers more flexibility in system build and thermal options for users. GIGABYTE's exclusive SSD Tool Box application provides users real-time status of SSD to leverage performance, thermal, stability and capability.

"With PCIe 5.0 support on new motherboard platform, the bandwidth and transfer performance are raised to the next level. As the first manufacturer to have both motherboards and SSD product lines in the market, GIGABYTE is also the first to unveil the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD. This new product brings blistering fast storage performance with ultra durability and compatibility to users for optimal quality and performance." said Jackson Hsu, Director of the GIGABYTE Channel Solutions Product Development Division.




K.S. Pua, CEO of Phison Electronics, said that Phison and GIGABYTE are long-term partners and have been cooperating since the SATA SSD era. The two companies have continually cooperated since PCIe Gen3 and Gen4, developing today's cutting-edge technology PCIe Gen5 SSD PS5026-E26 storage solution. PCIe Gen5 SSD is a technology that integrates high-speed transmission and storage, taking data transmission to the next level. During the E26 product verification stage, the two companies also encountered quite a few challenges. To address these challenges and accelerate the promotion of products to the market, the two companies set up a project team to conduct technical exchange and mutual verification. This kind of cooperation enabled both companies to combine their R&D strengths and create a superior storage solution. Phison is very pleased to help launch GIGABYTE's PCIe Gen5 SSD products and contribute to the high-speed computing ecosystem of PCIe Gen5.

AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD equips the latest Phison PS5026-E26 8-channel controller, providing users with the ultimate control of random read speed. Along with an over 200-layer stack structure, maximum 2400MT/s bandwidth 3D-TLC NAND Flash, and LPDDR4 cache design, AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD unleash the full potential of PCIe 5.0 performance with 10 GB/s ultra-fast access speed, which is a 40% increase over the last generation. Enhanced by the multi-core architecture PS5026-E26 controller, AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD not only improves AI multitasking operations, but takes content creators, gamers, and users eager for extreme performance to the next level.

At the same time, GIGABYTE R&D team continues to verify next generation NAND Flash and components, which can further boost performance and access speed to more than 12 GB/s. This prepares GIGABYTE to be the first-mover in the market while bringing users the premium performance of PCIe 5.0 SSD with distinguished power of GIGABYTE engineering.

Normally, high-speed SSDs generate massive amounts of heat during full speed operation, and thermal throttling is activated as a protection to prevent data loss and wear on the memory chips and controllers, however, it slows down the transfer rate and performance. As many of the new generation of motherboards already incorporate a built-in M.2 heatsink, the AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD is specially designed to with an easily removable full-covered copper heatsink. Users can flexibly choose to use the built-in heatsink on their motherboards or the enclosed heatsink with AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD according to their needs.

The AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD features an NVMe M.2 interface design. To release the breakthrough performance of 10 GB/s read speed, PCIe 5.0 supported motherboards, GIGABYTE new generation motherboards, Z690 and above, are highly-recommended to take advantage of this new technology. Enhanced by R&D's professional adjustment, comprehensive verification and monitoring software, GIGABYTE motherboards with more stability and optimized performance are definitely the best choice for users.

But...

But...

Can it run Crysis faster ?

sorry, I could not resist the funny :roll:

But anyways, always glad to see moar suppeeeed, just wish they made an 8TB model, which hopefully will come before too long....
 
Finally someone is brave enought to show random r/w numbers for Gen5 SSD's.

Sadly an older version of CrystalDiskMark, so not quite accurate I'd say. Not that CDM8 will show massively different figures.
 
... boosted performance of more than 55%...

Random reads: ~62MB/s. Nuff said.

Also, if thermal throttling was an issue at PCIe4 speeds, we should have some popcorn ready for these.

All you need is one of these...

Finally 4tb, took a long time, now we need a better price.
 
until Direct Storage is a thing for me at least Gen 3 is perfectly fine, and even that is mostly overkill 90% of the time
 
Its a good start for Gen5, mo'bettah will come. :D
 
How do you secure it in place? Mobos don't have holes for SSD heatsinks (and Thermalright has no online manual for this).
You put the M.2 drive into the cooler, its kinda of like a sandwich, then you mount your M.2 like you normally would. There was some concerns noted about weight when I posted pics of mine, but its really not bad at all. Just don't play soccer with your case :)

Ok, that makes some sense. Still it's 90g (there's 60g version, too) held in place by that tiny M.2 screw... I wouldn't be too confident moving the case around. Then again, lanparties have been dead for decades, my desktop is hardly moving.

I think, and this is just me thinking out loud, that a proper solution would be to have some sort of a cage for M.2 drives (like we have/had for SATA HDDs, only smaller) that the case can route some airflow to. This would also solve the problem of being limited to no more than 4 M.2 drives per mobo, although I am not sure how you would connect that back to the mobo.
 
That 2nd one looks more like a USB hair dryer.
A Swedish site tested it, but for some reason they didn't actually have it running in the video.
It has a 9,300 rpm fan that apparently has terrible resonance that makes you want to kill people when the fan is spinning at full speed.

Luckily it seems like the motherboard makers are moving away from those tiny screws and are working out better types of fastening solutions.

I'd like to see the M.2 drives hanging off the edge of the motherboard, that way you could use the case to support the coolers.
Going to take industry wide agreement for that to happen though.

Thanks for that link. That fan does look upscale with those 3 fins( if you call them that), but at 9k rpm, yea I can see this causing someone to kill just to get the voices out of their head :kookoo:.

I didnt see a link to convert it to English, but the 'pictures are worth a thousand words' ( heard that before eh??).

That 2000 rpm (from the bar graph) choice not only is a single digit difference and probably 50db lower too. I cant really say that since there is no noise comparison picture( chart :p ).

Oh yeah, I’ve got the little one too. It’s really no problem, I move my case around quite a bit, always fussing with something.. no car rides though.
