Saanvi Araav

The new SSD from Gigabyte could reach the speed of 5 GB/s, 50% faster than the current NVMe drives.

AMD has launched its new 3rd gen Ryzen processors based on Zen 2 architect in a recent event. During the event, they also introduced the next generation controllers of PCIe 4.0. To continue that trend, Gigabyte also launches it's first NVMe SSDs with PCIe 4.0 controllers which have shown amazing potential for the speed of this new technology.

AORUS NVMe

Aoruspciessd00 880x650 — AORUS NVMe has amazing reading and writing speeds.

AORUS NVMe of Gigabyte can reportedly reach the speed of 4,400 MB/s write and 5,000MB/s read speeds performance. That amazing performance is about double of write speed and 56% faster read speed of the current fastest NVMe SSDs available, the Samsung's 970 EVO.

But in fact, aside from Gigabyte, there are also other manufacturers that have used PCI 4.0 technology in their storage devices. Corsair has released its NVMe SSD with the name MP600 that has similar performance with the AURUS NVMe. Technically speaking, both use the same controller and flash-memory chips ( PS5016-E16 and 3D TLC NAND).
