When Intel's 12th-generation processors debuted in November, many motherboard manufacturers added PCIe Gen 5 specifications to their products. When there were no corresponding products from peripheral manufacturers, people couldn't help but feel: Will it be a bit too much? early? However, at the CES Consumer Electronics Show, which will debut in January, some manufacturers have launched M.2 solid-state drives with PCIe Gen 5 specifications, providing up to 14 GB/s read and write performance, which is higher than the current PCIe Gen 4 top Product, twice as fast!

The debut PCIe Gen 5 SSD product BD02AV2 is the product line of ADATA's gaming brand XPG. Two prototypes of PCIe Gen 5 x4 SSDs are released: "Project Nighthawk" and "Project Blackbird", with 14 GB and 12 GB respectively. /s and the highest read and write speeds of 14 and 10 GB/s. In the NVMe specification part, the 2.0 version is used, and the highest capacity configuration is 8TB, but when will it debut as an official product, XPG has no other instructions. Update Chen Ba will make up.

ADATA will be showing prototype samples of PCIe Gen 5 SSDs and DDR5 memory at CES.

However, the high heat brought by the high-speed access performance will inevitably affect the access performance of the SSD. This situation has become the configuration focus of various manufacturers in PCIe Gen 4. It will be even more important in the PCIe Gen 5 generation. Just before CES, Jonsbo released an active cooling accessory specially designed for M.2 SSD. Through the built-in aluminum heat sink and turbo fan, the heat of the SSD can be quickly exported to avoid the heat. SSD performance and data loss.

Active cooling accessories for SSDs from Jonsbo.

Since it is an active cooling configuration, the performance of the fan becomes the focus. The fan of Jonsbo’s SSD active cooling accessory is 3000 RPM speed specification, the maximum air volume is 4.81 CFM, and the overall size of the heat sink is 76 mm x 24.5 mm x 70.5 mm, Installing it on the motherboard may interfere with the larger tower-type air-cooling radiator, but what it will actually be, we will wait until the actual product is actually launched.
