Gigabyte Pushes NVMe Aorus SSD to 15,000 MB/s on PCIe 4.0 (RAID)

Gigabyte Pushes NVMe Aorus SSD to 15,000 MB/s on PCIe 4.0 (RAID)

So, you do need to wonder at what point an NVMe SSD is fast enough. For kicks and giggles and a bit of a viral Gigabyte probably showcased this one, an Aorus PCIe 4.0 SSD that does 15,000 MB/s. Obviously, it uses a technology that most people will have forgotten, RAID.

Regardless of what you think of it, the fact is that the potential of PCIe 4.0 is really starting to show. A single Gigabyte's Aorus Gen4 NVMe SSD is capable of reaching 5GB/s sequential read speeds.

 

 

As mentioned RAID is needed, the card pretty much is a 4x RAID configuration. RAID creates a lot of overhead and needs a dedicated controller at these speeds, as the CPU load otherwise would get bazerk. We can only assume how hot these units will run, as the SSDs requires active cooling as well as a copper heatsink per M2 NVMe SSD. The nice thing with RAID is that you can increase volume size, the demoed version offers 8TB. Will this ever reach the market, we doubt it. But looking at such speeds does bring a smile to our faces.

Very juicy but i bet this is one of the reasons why the north/south bridge needs active cooling on X570.

It uses x16, so probably the CPU PCi-e lanes

Well according to Hardware Unboxed MSI confirmed it's because of PCI-E 4 and that the fan will spin only under heavy io on a PCI-E 4 nvme drive. Remain to be seen if it's true but that's what MSI apparently said to them.

Games would load pretty fast, if you remove the splash screens.

I suppose it could help 4k video editing as well, with the 8TB size.

This also enforces that idea of games loading super fast, i guess Playstation 5 is using something similar since it's also AMD based like PS4, but the rumors are 500GB SSD
