Exciting News: Gigabyte Unveils Aorus Gen5 10000 PCIe 5.0 SSD with Cooler and Doubled Cache!

Gigabyte has just revealed its first PCIe 5.0 SSD, the Aorus Gen5 10000, a high-performance SSD that boasts a large heat sink with two heatpipes and nanocarbon coating, known as Thermal Guard XTREME. The cooler is optional and designed to prevent throttling due to high temperatures, making this SSD ideal for demanding applications. The cooler is large, but Gigabyte has tested it and certifies that it can keep the PCIe 5.0 SSD at 5°C even after 60 minutes of continuous use.

The Aorus Gen5 10000 is available in 1TB and 2TB capacities, with sequential transfer rates of up to 10GB/s read and 9.5GB/s write for the 2TB model, and 9.5GB/s read and 8.5GB/s write for the 1TB model. Both models boast low power consumption, with less than 85 milliwatts in idle mode.

Capacity* Model Sequential Read MB/s** Sequential Write MB/s**
1000GB AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD 1TB
(AG510K1TB)
 9500 MB/s 8500 MB/s
2000GB AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD 2TB
(AG510K2TB)
 10000 MB/s 9500 MB/s

One of the highlights of this SSD is its doubled DRAM cache, with 2GB for the 1TB model and 4GB for the 2TB model, making this SSD even faster and more efficient. It also features an economical LPDDR4 RAM and the Phison E26 controller with eight channels and NVMe 2.0.

However, there is a catch. The size of the cooler increases the dimensions of the SSD, making it incompatible with many motherboards. Gigabyte has listed 35 models, mainly with Intel B660 or B760 chipset, that are not compatible with the cooler, as well as all Mini-ITX motherboards from Gigabyte and Aorus.

In conclusion, the Aorus Gen5 10000 is a high-performance SSD that offers fast speeds, low power consumption, and a large cooler to prevent throttling, making it ideal for demanding applications. However, users must keep in mind that the cooler may not be compatible with their motherboards.
