Recently, Gigabyte introduced its newest range of PCIe 5.0 solid state drives, the Gigabyte Aorus 14000 Gen5. These cutting-edge SSDs come in capacities of up to 4TB, establishing themselves as top contenders in the competitive gaming SSD market. The highest-performing model boasts impressive sequential read and write speeds of 14.5 GB/s and 12.7 GB/s, respectively.
Gigabyte’s forthcoming SSDs will be equipped with Phison PS5026-E26 controllers and 232-layer 3D TLC NAND Flash memory. The flagship SSDs will be offered in three storage variants: 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB, with the 2TB option leading the speed charts. Each model will feature 2GB of LPDDR4 cache per terabyte of storage.
The Aorus Gen5 SSDs showcase sequential read speeds surpassing 14GB/s, indicating an approximate 2GB/s improvement over the earlier Aorus Gen5 SSDs. Additionally, the write speed has seen a significant enhancement, now reaching 12.7 GB/s. The detailed specifications for each model are as follows:
| Model | Capacity (GB) | Sequential read speed (GB/s) | Sequential write speed (GB/s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aorus Gen5 14000 SSD 1TB (AG514K1TB) |
1000 | 13.6 | 10.2 |
| Aorus Gen5 14000 SSD 2TB (AG514K2TB) |
2000 | 14.5 | 12.7 |
| Aorus Gen5 14000 SSD 4TB (AG514K4TB) |
4000 | 14.1 | 12.6 |
All of the models have a rated MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) of 1.6 million hours and are supported by a 5-year warranty or 700 TBW per terabyte. Gigabyte is yet to disclose pricing information. However, given the high-performance nature of these new SSDs, a premium price point can be anticipated. For comparison, the Aorus 12000 model is currently priced at £260 for the 2TB variant and £180 for the 1TB option.
