Chinese SSD PCIe 5.0 boasts a speed of 14.9 Gb/s, positioning as the fastest mainstream PCIe 5.0 Drive on the market

The Chinese manufacturer UNIS (subsidiary Tsinghua Unigroup) presented its offer S5 SSDS PCIe 5.0, a robust claimant for one of the best SSDs. Company (via Ithome) claims that the drive speeds are up to 14.9 Gb/s, faster than the key T705 and Samsung 9100 Pro, two of the fastest PCIe 5.0 disks.

The S5 family contains the base S5 and S5 Ultra, which are in line with the M.2 2280 form and apply the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. Shortly after the debut in China, some units will reach Western markets to review via online channels such as Alixpress.

The best SSDs in the PCIe 5.0 ecosystem offer sequential readings on the pitch 13-14 Gb/s, and only marginal profits of several hundred Mb/s differentiate the fastest. The key T705 occupied a leading position on the SSD market, but it is dethroned by Samsung’s entry into the PCIe 5.0 ecosystem with 9100 PRO offers.

Micron 4600 recently joined the ranks, wearing Phison E26 and beating the SM2508 controller with Silicon Motion and 276-boards Micron TLC Nand. The difference in random lectures and records is visibly gigantic, because Samsung and Micron have passed the IOPS 2000K barriers.

SSD specifications UNIS S5 Ultra and S5 PCIe 5.0

The basic Unis S5 can remove sequential readings and records, respectively 14.9 Gb/SI 12.9 Gb/s, refuting all other offers on this territory. Random readings and writes also have an impressive 1,800 thousand. IOP and 1,700 thousand IOP. Despite the apparent OPH, he is surprisingly used by an older, unnamed 12 Nm controller and has a drama. After starting, S5 will be available in a capacity of 1 TB and 2TB without specific prices.

The S5 Ultra is updated to the double PCB structure and includes DRAM cache. It is said that it is employed by a 6 Nm controller, which in our opinion is probably the SM2508 Silicon movement, also appearing in 4600 microns. Apart from the specifications, sequential readings and save, accordingly, 14.2 Gb/Si 13.4 Gb/s, accordingly, and they save up to 1700K IOPS. The S5 Ultra will only debut in 2 TB and 4TB variants, which can fail the budget consumers.

Despite the fact that it is slower, the S5 Ultra will probably fit better with performance machines due to the inclusion of DRAM cache. Both SSDs will be sent with a passive 1 mm graphics, although busy cooling solutions will better cope with the heat generated by these SSDs, especially at such high speeds. In any case, it is said that these SSDs will soon hit Chinese electronic trade markets. We can only verify these reported speeds through appropriate independent tests, because the first page indicators are often biased.
