At Bilibili World 2025, Colorful quietly introduced a unique all-white version of its iGame Ultra Duo SSD graphics card that combines high-end GPU performance with built-in storage. The card features a two‑fan cooler coated in matte white, which immediately sets it apart from the usual dark designs you see on the market. Although Colorful has not confirmed whether it is based on NVIDIA's new GB206 or GB207 architecture, either RTX 5050 or 5060, the real point of this product is the dual M.2 SSD slots on the back of the compact PCB. Users can simply slide in drives without any extra cables, and the heatsink mounting points are cleverly positioned between the storage bays and the rear I/O bracket.

Thanks to PCIe bifurcation, the card splits a standard x16 slot into eight lanes for the GPU and four lanes for each SSD, so neither graphics nor storage performance is compromised. Given that the PCIe bandwidth is more than enough for this GPU SKU, even an x8 lane is enough for performance to stay intact. By placing SSDs near active cooling, Colorful ensures they stay cool even under heavy workloads. Official specs and pricing are not yet available, but this hybrid design is sure to catch the eye of gamers and content creators looking for a sleek, high-capacity storage build.

Tiny PC maker Minisforum was showing off its upcoming N5 Pro NAS at Computex, and it's quite different from what most NAS makers have put out to date. For starters, it's built around AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 370 SoC and has support for up to 96 GB of ECC DDR5 5600 MHz memory over two SO-DIMM slots. Connectivity consists of one 10 Gbps and one 5 Gbps Ethernet port, two USB4 ports—with DP Alt mode support—one HDMI 2.1 port, two USB 3.2 10 Gbps ports and one USB 2.0 port. For some reason the Oculink port, clearly visible around the back of the unit on display, isn't mentioned in the specs we were provided, but it's still mentioned on the product page, so we'll have to wait and see if that will be part of the final product or not.

On the storage side of things there's room for five 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives in traditional drive caddies, and drives up to 22 TB in size are supported. In addition to this, there's room for one M.2 NVMe slot which is limited to PCIe 4.0 X1, lengths of up to 110 mm are supported. There is also an extra PCB that can be slotted in that adds support for a further two NVMe drives in either the U.2 or M.2 form factor, one with a PCIe 4.0 x2 interface and one with PCIe 4.0 x1. Judging by the design of this expansion PCB, it might be a bit fiddly to install, but as the main PCB of the N5 Pro slides out for access, it could've been far worse. Internally there's also a full-length low-profile PCIe x16 slot—which was occupied by a GPU in the unit on display—although it's limited to four lanes electrically, as well as a USB 3.2 10 Gbps port. It will apparently come with MinisCloud OS, but Windows 11 is also supported, which means the N5 Pro could be used for something else than just as a NAS. No word on pricing, but the company is offering a 30 percent off discount if you sign up on their website.

This year at Computex, Apacer was showing off several new DDR5 memory modules and storage products. First up is its NOX RGB DDR5 CUDIMM which delivers a base speed of 8000 MT/s, but according to the company, can be overclocked to 9000 MT/s and there's also a non RGB version. Next up we have the Shield RGB DDR5 modules, which appears to want to take on Corsair's Dominator modules, at least design vise and these are also available without RGB. There was no mention of any speeds for these modules and as they'll only be available later this year, there's no information on the Apacer website either. Finally, Apacer has entered into a partnership with ASUS to produce TUF co-branded memory and was showing off the new NOX TUF RGB DDR5 modules. The already available non RGB version is available in speeds from 5200 MT/s to 6800 MT/s.

On the storage side, Apacer had a new external USB4 Gen 3x2—otherwise known as 40 Gbps—SSD, which is based on the Phison U21 controller. The AS741 as the drive is called, will be available in sizes from 1 TB to 4 TB and it should offer sequential read speeds of up to 4000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 3600 MB/s. It also has an integrated cable/handle, which is the blue part in the picture, but we're not sure how it really is intended to work. Apacer also had a new PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD that goes under the name of AS2280F4U, which is based on Silicon Motion SM2508 controller and it should offer read speeds of up to 14000 MB/s and write speeds of 13000 MB/s. It will come in sizes between 1 TB and 4 TB and the heatsink has a rather tiny fan built into it. Both of the SSDs will be available later this year.

Asustor didn't have any big news at Computex this year, but the company was showing it's upcoming Lockerstor 6 Gen2+, which is a slightly improved version of the current Lockerstor 6 Gen2, with the only upgrade being a move from red to blue Ethernet ports. Ok, there's a little more to it than a colour change, as the new blue ports support speeds of up to 5 Gbps vs. 2.5 Gbps for the red ports, something Asustor has done to make it easy to visually differentiate between the port speeds. The plus version is set to launch later this year, with no firm launch date as yet.

The company was also showing off its new Lockerstor 12R Pro Gen2 rack mounted NAS appliances with support for either 12 or 16 3.5-inch drives. These 3U or 4U rackmount NASes are powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 Pro processors and come standard with 16 GB of ECC DDR5-4800 memory, dual 10 Gbps Ethernet ports, plus a pair of Gigabit Ethernet ports, one M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 5.0 x4 slot for an OS drive and a PCIe x8 expansion slot.

Realtek appears to have decided that it still wants a slice of the SSD controller market and showed off two new products at Computex. The first, is a DRAM-less PCIe 5.0 NVMe controller that the company says will offer random read/write speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s, which it also delivers according to a CrystalDiskMark 8.0.4 screenshot that the company shared at the show. The RTS5781 as the controller is known as, is a typical 4-channel controller that supports ONFi 5.1 and Toggle 5.1 3D TLC/QLC NAND with I/O speeds of up to 3600 MT/s. It also supports advanced power saving features and common encryption protocols such as TCG OPAL 2.0 and AES 256. Random performance is on par with your typical DRAM-less SSD controller. The RTS5781 was originally revealed last year on a roadmap, but only announced now.

Next up is the RM1220, which is comparable to Silicon Motion's SM2322 in that it's a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20 Gbps controller that doesn't require any bridge chip for better or worse. Realtek claims the same 2,100/2,000 MB/s read and write performance as Silicon Motion and thus better performance than Phison's PS2251-18/U18 controller. However, Realtek has a couple of tricks up its sleeve to make the RM1220 stand out from the crowd, the first being an integrated addressable RGB controller for "gaming" SSDs and the other being integrated fingerprint reader support, where just the physical reader is needed, for companies that want to add some security features to their external SSDs.

Although Synology already announced its first plus series NAS in its 2025 range a month ago with the DS925+ and its accompanying expansion unit, the company had no less than six new devices on display at Computex. We also talked at length with the company and got an explanation as to why the company decided to move to supporting its own brand drives only and it turns out the situation isn't quite what Synology's press release made it seem like, but more on that after we go over the new devices.

The new range starts with the DS225+ and the DS425+, where the DS225+ is the new base model of the plus series. Both models are built around an Intel Celeron J4125—a chip that launched at the end of 2019—which is paired with 2 GB of DDR4 which can be expanded to 6 GB in total. Both models come with one 2.5 Gbps and one 1 Gbps Ethernet port, two 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and two or four drive bays. The DS425+ also gets a pair of M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slots, but unless the CPU information provided is wrong, these will only be PCIe 2.0 and will most likely not sport more than one or two lanes.

We were passing by the Transcend booth here at Computex 2025 when our curious eyes and rapid camera spotted the "yet to be announced" Transcend MTE260S M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 5 SSD. This is the next-generation high-performance M.2 SSDs that are capable of reaching speeds up to 14,000 MB/s (reads) and up to 12,500 MB/s (writes) thanks to its 3D NAND Flash memory, and the Silicon Motion controller (presumably the SM2508 series) aided by a DRAM cache. Other than that, for the moment, we only know that Transcend plans to offer models from 1 TB up to 4 TB capacity with the same graphene heatsink design seen on previous Transcend 2000 M.2 SSD series; the rest of the technical specifications will be known soon once the company makes its official announcement. The product will likely be aimed towards gamers and content creators.

Ahead of next week's Computex 2025 show, Taiwanese hardware manufacturer addlink is teasing some of its upcoming products. We've learned that they plan to release new PCIe Gen 5 x4 NVMe 2.0 SSDs. The addlink G57 (without heatsink) and G57H (with heatsink) M.2 2280 models are presented as capable of delivering speeds of 14,000 MB/s for both read and write operations, thanks to a new 6 nm PCIe Gen 5 controller. The series consists of 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB models, and we can speculate that the advertised 14,000 MB/s speeds will likely be available only on the 4 TB variant (following the current trend with other manufacturers). These devices use 3D NAND Flash memory and LPDDR4 (for DRAM cache), featuring LDPC ECC, SLC Cache, SMART and TRIM support, and thermal control. The products will be backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Beyond these details, we'll have to wait a few more days for TechPowerUp team to visit addlink's booth at Computex for more technical information.

addlink will also showcase at Computex 2025, alongside the aforementioned products, a wide range of storage and memory devices including various SSDs, USB drives, and DDR5 memory modules with speeds up to 8,400 MB/s (CUDIMM) and 6,400 MB/s (UDIMM). Those who can't wait until Computex can explore these products on addlink's virtual showcase. We're seeing a welcome trend with the latest and upcoming PCIe Gen 5 NAND Flash storage devices for consumers in terms of performance levels, with the bar being raised to 14,000 MB/s or even higher. Just today, Sandisk launched its highly anticipated WD_BLACK SN8100 NVMe internal SSD, capable of delivering speeds up to 14,900 MB/s and capacities up to 8 TB. Earlier this week, Kingston released the FURY Renegade G5 with speeds up to 14,800/14,000 MB/s read/write and over 2 million IOPS.

Earlier this month, Kingston's new Fury Renegade G5 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD leaked, albeit without pricing, but now the company has revealed the pricing both in the US and the UK and to be frank, it's not all that competitively priced. As reported, the Fury Renegade G5 will come in three sizes, 1 TB, 2 TB and 4 TB and Kingston went with Silicon Motions SM2508 controller, rather than the more commonly used Phison E26, for its first PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD. There's little between the two controllers in real world performance tests, but the SM2508 is faster on paper.

So what about the pricing then you ask? Well, the 1 TB SKU starts at US$203.99 or £182.16 (inc VAT) if you live in the UK. Considering you can get a 1 TB Crucial T705 for US$160 or a 1 TB Samsung 9100 Pro for US$199.99, it seems like Kingston's pricing is a bit off, since their Fury Renegade G5 is unlikely to offer any tangible performance advantages. The 2 TB SKU is listed at US$329.99 / £295.92, while the 4 TB SKU comes in at US$629.99 / £563.04, making the 4 TB SKU one of the most expensive 4 TB consumer NVMe SSDs in the market. Samsung's 9100 Pro retails for around US$550 in comparison, although the Crucial T705 comes in at US$687 in the 4 TB SKU. It seems like PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD's, especially at larger storage sizes are going to continue to be a premium product for now.
