Its thermal design comprises two heat pipes and a stack of Nanocarbon-coated fins for optimal heat dissipation. Known as the “M.2 Thermal Guard XTREME,” the included heatsink is quite the beast. By aligning data with the SSD’s physical media, ZNS boosts system performance and prolongs the SSD’s lifespan.
ZNS is a technology that enables the SSD and host to cooperatively place data within the drive, eliminating the need for overprovisioning. The Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD features the NVMe 2.0 interface and leverages Zoned Namespaces (ZNS). As you will see below, while we were able to attain close to these numbers for burst write activity. GIGABYTE’s press release, however, included CrystalDiskMark benchmark results that showed sequential performance read and write speeds of 10.1GB/s and 10.2GB/s, respectively. Nonetheless, in terms of what we can expect out of the box, the Aorus Gen5 10000 is quoted to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 9,500MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 8,500MB/s. GIGABYTE has claimed that with some fine-tuning of its firmware, the new Aorus drive will yield better results over time. While this isn’t nearly as big of a jump in performance compared to the transition from Gen3 to Gen4, this initial speed does not saturate the potential of the Gen5 interface, yet. The AORUS 10000 is intended for users with intense demands, such as content creators and gamers, ideally those who have motherboards that can leverage and cool Gen5 M.2 SSDs.Īt launch, the new Gen5 SSDs are expected to deliver up to 10GB/s in reads, which marks a solid 40% increase over the previous generation. The drive features a 200-layer stack structure of 3D-TLC NAND, Phiuson E26 controller, and an integrated LPDDR4 cache design. The first PCIe Gen5 SSD for the consumer market to hit our lab, is the GIGABYTE Aorus 10000 SSD.
