Prototype PCIe 5.0 SSD is already twice as fast as today’s best drives

[ad_1]

Kioxia has offered us a peek at the future of what’s next in SSDs, and it’s incredibly quick. With a prototype using the upcoming PCIe 5.0 protocol, the company has managed to blast into the stratosphere with sequential read speeds of up to 14,000MB/s.

Kioxia compares its prototype to a PCIe 4.0 drive, the Kioxia CM6. That gets roughly 6,900MB/s sequential read and 4,200MB/s sequential write, which is easily crushed by the 14,000MB/s sequential read and 7,000MB/s sequential write of the PCIe 5.0 prototype. The same goes for random read/write performance, which is important for snappy PC performance, where the PCIe 5.0 prototype manages 2,500,000 IOPS to the PCIe 4.0 drive’s 1,400.
