Gigabyte Aorus Gen5 10000 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 M.2 2280 Up to 2TB SSD

Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. announced the Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD with M.2 2280 form factor.

Enhanced by the PCIe 5.0 controller with 3D-TLC NAND flash, Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD supports the PCIe 5.0 architecture of Intel and AMD platform to deliver boosted performance of more than 40% over PCIe 4.0 SSDs with easy installation and capability. Additionally, the separate package design of SSD and heatsink offers more flexibility in system build and thermal options for users. Further, the SSD monitoring feature of the company’s GCC (Gigabyte Control Center) application provides users real-time status of SSD to leverage performance, thermal, stability and capability.

With the PCIe 5.0 support on new motherboard platform, the bandwidth and transfer performance are raised. Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD equips the Phison Electronics Corp.’ PS5026-E26 8-channel controller, providing users with the superior control of random read speed. Along with an over 200-layer stack structure of 3D-TLC NAND flash and built-in LPDDR4 cache design, it unleashes the potential of PCIe 5.0 performance with 10GB/s access speed, which is more than 40% increase compared to the predecessor. With the existing PCIe 5.0 supported AMD and Intel platform, it brings next-level performance for content creators, gamers, and users eager for performance. Further, the SSD monitoring feature of the firm’s GCC application provides users real-time status of SSD to leverage the performance of Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD.

Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD and heatsink

Normally the high-speed SSD generates heat and results in throttling under full-speed operation, which avoid data loss and damages to the controller but puts limit on its transfer speed. In order to prevent possible throttling, most SSDs equip with heatsink to dissipate the heat and more high-end motherboards also carry their own stylish heatsinks. Along with users’ expectation of self-configured thermal solution of SSD, Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD adopts a packaging design of separated SSD and heatsink packing. This allows users to choose the built-in heatsink on their motherboards or the enclosed heatsink of Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD in line with their needs for a more flexible thermal configuration.

The Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD features an NVMe M.2 interface design. To release the of 10GB/s read speed, the company’s PCIe 5.0 supported motherboards are recommended. Enhanced by R&D’s professional adjustment, verification and monitoring software, firm’s motherboards with more stability and optimized performance are the best choice for users. Furthermore, the company’s R&D team continue to improve and verify the new coming NAND flash IC and components for more advanced performance with access speed up to 12GB/s. Users can enjoy the unlocked performance of PCIe 5.0 SSD through the firm’s product once the new components is ready.
