With the normalization of Ssd That they use PCIe, we have seen how many companies have focused on the development of models that meet the most advanced standards possible, when the PCIE 4.0 has arrived, we have seen how they started to develop versions of the PCIE 5.0, and now that they reach the market, we see prototypes of the PCIe 6.0 With speeds that seem unreal.
The storage units have evolved a lot of the change which meant using SATA to other interfaces which allow greater speeds, although they are always present in lower performance systems or which need much greater capacities, little by little are replaced. Among the things that have encouraged the development of models that benefit, for example the speeds offered by PCIE, we have some of the most advanced technologies that focus on the use of high performance equipment such as AI, but this is mainly applied to a more commercial sector.
Do you think about 14,900 MB offered by PCIe 5.0? Well, this dubs PCIe 6.0 SS
During the computer, there are many brands dedicated to the manufacture of storage devices that take advantage to show their latest news, many of them are designed for a current market which is that of the Ssd They use PCIe 5.0. This mainly has to do with the fact that this generation becomes more and more, even if in the vast majority of opportunities, a user does not need it because the speeds offered by PCIe 4.0 are sufficient for example to play because the games do not take advantage of this component as well as the AI.
But among all these models, there is a company that wanted to bring it to another level and evolve on everything related to the launches that the rest of the companies made because they have directly presented a prototype prototype Ssd This uses PCIe 6.0, which we could probably see relatively soon on the market. As you can imagine, we are talking about one of the main companies in this part of the sector, Micron, because they presented the Micron 9650 Pro SSD which reaches speeds much higher than other models.
We saw the first SSD with this standard and managed to offer 27,000 MB / s, which did not obtain a duplication of the speeds of the 5 gene (each generation of PCIe should double the specifications of the previous one), but this time, Micron did it. Its storage device offers a reading and sequential writing rate of 30.25 GB / s of the equivalent of 30 250 MB / S which this time involves double the maximum speed of PCIe 5.0 (14,900 Mb).
Obviously, it is not intended to be used on a traditional computer, because the current CPUs do not yet support PCIe 6.0 as such, although the Blackwell graphics designed for data centers incorporate it and even allow it to establish a communication between peers between the graph and the SSD to take advantage of the two capacities of the time to prevent the processor from limiting it, but obviously is designed for a professional environment.
