ADATA to Showcase 8TB 14GB/s PCIe Gen5 SSD at CES

ADATA has advanced the novelties that it will exhibit at the Las Vegas fair, from a 1600W power supply, DDR5 memories with data transfer rates of up to 8000 MT/s, external SSDs with USB4 support, CXL (Compute Express Link) memory modules for business environments and storage solutions like the one we are going to present to you, the ADATA XPG SSD.

the interface PCI Express 5.0driven by the new Intel Raptor Lake and AMD Ryzen 7000 processing platforms, will allow new solutions such as the graphics cards of the future (next generations from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel) or the new solid state drives that should already be in the market. market, but they have been delayed until 2023. Maybe to sell the existing Gen4… you know how this goes.

The goal is to further improve the performance of internal SSDs. Although we will have to see the real differences with the current Gen4, this type of unit will double the transfer speed on paper and will speed up intensive data loads.

The ADATA XPG SSD will be one of them. It will use an M.2 connector and will have a passive dissipation system patented by the manufacturer. This is most likely the aluminum alloy casing used in the LEGEND 960 MAX SSD, which, in addition to visual appeal, provides additional surface area to improve heat dissipation and with it a cooling improvement that the manufacturer estimates at 40%. % over previous models.

You already know that these types of coolers have become inseparable with SSDs as performance and with it heat generation have increased. Specifically, ADATA promises data transfer speeds of up to 14,000 Mbytes per second both in sequential reads and writes. A monumental performance, but as we told you, it will have to be compared to the Gen4 to see its real gain in a consumer.

The type and brand of the memories used have not been provided, nor has the SLC cache memory, nor the controller used. We do know that it will be distributed in versions up to 8 TB of storage capacity. It will also support 256-bit AES encryption technology and a 5-year warranty, already standard on SSDs. We’ll tell you when we know more at CES.
