Gigabyte Outs UD Pro 2.5" SSD Series
Gigabyte introduced a new product line, SSDs named and listed under UD Pro. The 2.5 "models have been fitted with 3D TLC NAND from Toshiba, the controller is unknown at this time, however, is paired with a 256MB DRAM cache. The SSD reaches read and write speeds of 530 and 500 MB/s respectively.
Gigabytes UD PRO series SSDs adopt 3D TLC NAND flash, which has higher bit capacity, R/W speed performance, endurance and reliability compared to 2D TLC flash. Moreover, with an optimized controller and firmware, GIGABYTE UD PRO series SSDs provide excellent performance for a smooth PC experience.
- Form Factor: 2.5-inch internal SSD
- Interface: SATA 6.0Gb/s
- Total Capacity: 512GB*
- Warranty: Limited 3-year
- Sequential Read speed : up to 530 MB/s**
- Sequential Write speed : up to 500 MB/s**
- Toshiba 3D TLC NAND Flash offers blazing speed, high capacity & enhanced reliability
- External DDR3 DRAM Cache for Better Sustain Speed
- TRIM & S.M.A.R.T supported
The UD PRO SSD is equipped with high-speed DDR3L SDRAM cache and does not need to reserve over-provisioning space, thus improving the random Read/Write performance. This means the users can use the full capacity of the drive. Moreover, external DRAM can be a buffer between controller and NAND flash for sustained performance when capacity is occupied by more and more data.
The units get 3 Years warranty.
| Capacity | Model | Sequential Read MB/s | Sequential Write MB/s | Random Read IOPS | Random Write IOPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 256GB | GP-GSTFS30256GTTD | 530 | 500 | 70K | 40K |
| 512GB | GP-GSTFS30512GTTD | 530 | 500 | 80K | 75K |

Haha you would be right about that. So far, I think you're the first person to have ever made a connection between 2 unrelated online accounts of mine.
As for "SATA 3.2", that is (or rather, was) actually in use, in the form of SATA Express. But being proprietary and expensive, it lost popularity and became obsoleted by U.2 and M.2. Those "16Gbps" you mention is mostly because of direct access to PCIe lanes. So, it's not as impressive as it might seem.
EDIT:
It seems M.2 drives are also SATA 3.2:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial-ATA#3.2
Makes sense - M.2 drives are just SATA based with PCIe lanes for that extra bandwidth.
Man i think i see you on the comments of a video on youtube (Enginering Explained), now on topic, certainly SATA4 would be nice for SSD particularly the hot swap capability, and could be possible right now. SATA 3.2 is already 5 years old, why nobody uses it? it have a woping speed of 16 Gbit/s.

Somewhere I did read about price fixing. But what can one expect?
SATA3 bandwidth has been saturated years ago. On consumer market they can no longer differentiate themselves with higher r/w speeds. IOPS is some mythical value average consumer care little about.
So there is only price. But they want their profits. So price fixing.
Getting SATA4 would deliver fix for that. Over night Drives with new controller would deliver higher performance at only cost of developing that controller. And as there would be those ~525MB/s older drives and 850, 1000, 1200MB/s drives, they would have reason to differentiate.
And it would be by pricing down. Because M.2 SSDs with 1000MB/s+ cost about same as SATA3 SSDs w/ 500MB/s. And only thing which allows for this is slow adoption of M.2. (But that's changing for quite some time. Almost every new MB has at least one.)
And then apparently, number of slots. 2x M.2 vs 8x SATA3. That changes capacity potential over time.
