Consumer PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe SSD Goes On Sale In Japan, 2 TB Up To 10 GB/s For $385 US
The first PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs from CFD Gaming with 2TB storage space are now available for purchase in Japan. The drives, identified by product code CSSD-M2M2TPG5NFZ, boast sequential read speeds of 10GB/s and sequential write speeds of 9.5GB/s.
The drives also have active cooling with a 20mm fan and come equipped with advanced features like Smart Data Processing, Predict & Fetch, and SLC Caching. These SSDs are available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB storage options and are built using Micron's 3D TLC NAND and feature DDR4 DRAM cache. The drives are priced at 354 euros, which roughly translates to around $385 USD (including taxes). This is slightly more expensive than the current fastest PCIe Gen 4.0 NVMe SSD, the Samsung 990 Pro, which retails at $309 USD for the 2TB heatsink variant. The drives utilize the Phison Gen5 PS5026-E26 controller, which has a theoretical maximum throughput of 15.8GB/s, double the speeds of SSDs with a PCIe 4.0 x4 controller.
Both Intel and AMD platforms currently support the newer PCIe Gen5 standard, but Phison has designated AMD as its official partner to usher in the new era of Gen5 SSDs on the AM5 platform.

I don't even care that mine supports gen 4. My gen 3 Samsung 970 is plenty fast.

All modern mainboards share the M.2 PCI lanes with the GPU.
How much performance loss on the dual graphics cards ?

AM5 boards have 24 PCIe lanes. Enough for an x16 GPU and dual M.2.

Its probably going to be a while before flash nvme is fast enough to max out PCIe 4.0. That being said, you watch Microsoft make PCIe 5 a hard requirement for DirectStorage for the PC.

Diminishing returns. I think my mobo supports Gen 5 and I don't even care.
