PCIe 5.0 SSDs hit the market this month, entering the 10GB/s era with read speeds

According to the plan of AMD and its partners, PCIe 5.0 SSDs will be available this month. At Flash Summit 2022, AMD and Phison showcased an E7000 master PCIe Gen26 SSD running on the Ryzen™ 5 platform with read speeds of up to 10GB/s.

It is reported that the current Phison E26 main control chip with 2400MT / s bandwidth 3D-TLC flash memory can achieve an ultra-fast read speed of 10 GB / s. After that, manufacturers will continue to validate the next generation of materials and NAND flash memory particles, further improving overall performance and reading speeds of more than 12 GB/s.

For reference, PCIe 4.0 can reach 5GB / s in the early days, and the current flagship models can reach more than 7GB / s, such as Samsung's new flagship SSD 990 PRO sequential read speed of 7450 MB/s.
