GIGABYTE continues to raise the performance level of its SSD drives and at Computex presented the AORUS Gen5 14000 SSD, a solution with the right to aspire to the throne of the fastest in the industry.

This format uses a high-performance GIGABYTE branded SSD drive M.2-2280 which has become the main and almost the only one among SSD drives thanks to its great advantages given by its compact size, which allows it to be installed both in desktop computers and in laptops.

In this case, AORUS targets the Gen5 14000 SSD the fastest desktop computers on the market because we assume that you will have to mount the heatsink at the height of its performance, such as the thermal solution Thermal Guard Extreme with layers of aluminum and carbon that the company has already used to cool the chipsets of its most advanced motherboards.

It mounts 232-layer 3D-TLC NAND flash memories and a controller Phison PS5026-E26 that under the PCIe 5.0 interface and the NVMe 2.0 protocol it is able to achieve sequential read transfer speeds 14,500 MB per secondwhile sequential writing reaches 12,700 Mbytes per second.

AORUS say they have specifically optimized the unit to achieve “Excellent stability with exceptional performance”. Dispose of 256-bit AES encryption and supports TRIM, SMART and ECC technologies to guarantee data integrity and security.

GIGABYTE will ship with GCC management software for the drives, which provides users with real-time updates on SSD status, performance or temperatures, as well as the ability to upgrade firmware. The AORUS Gen5 14000 SSD will be sold in different versions depending on the storage capacity (we assume 1, 2 and 4 bytes), with a five-year warranty, a time between failure of 1.6 million hours and a minimum of 700 TB written.
