PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD

PCIe 5.0 NVMe drives (M.2 2280) deliver sequential read speeds of 12,000–14,800 MB/s and write speeds of 10,000–14,500 MB/s — roughly double PCIe 4.0 drives. The added bandwidth (32 GT/s per lane, 64 GB/s for ×4 slots) is leveraged by Samsung 990 Pro (PCIe 4.0), Corsair MP700 (PCIe 5.0), Crucial T705 (PCIe 5.0), and WD Black SN850X (PCIe 4.0, not PCIe 5.0). PCIe 5.0 NVMe slots are available on Intel Z790, Z890, and AMD X670E/B650E/X870E platforms. The controllers (Phison E26, InnoGrit IG5236) run hot and require heatsinks.
