The new processors from Intel and AMD presented at the end of 2022, together with the chipsets of this new generation, already support faster PCI Express 5.0 storage. But at the moment we have only seen many announcements, rumors and leaks of SSDs compatible with this faster bus, but none for sale. It is not the case of CFD SSDs that he presented a few weeks ago, which It has already been seen for sale in Japan..
this seems to be the first PCI Express 5.0 SSD ever seen on the marketsince at the moment no other products are known beyond presentations or some models that have been seen last CES 2023, but without a release date no estimated retail price for these new, faster drives. This SSD CFD Gaming PG5NFZ is available from stock with a capacity of 2TB and with a price of 49,980 yen, this equates to about 355 euros to changea price that seems reasonable for a 2TB drive of storage with this new bus.
Let’s remember that this 2 TB SSD is capable of reaching 10 Gbps reading and 9.5 Gbps writing, and that it has the new controller Phison PS5026-E26 along with memory Micron 3D TLC NAND. We also see, as in many other units, a great sink with a small fan that will keep these units that seem to overheat at a good temperature.
We hope that other manufacturers will join soon to release their new PCI Express 5.0 SSDs, though some seem set for a release soon.
