Question Any idea when the PCIe 6.0 SSDs will be out?

[YouFilthyHippo]

The PCIe 6.0 spec was made official a year and a half ago already. How long until we can finally see some PCIe 6.0 SSDs?

I've seen estimates that the first devices will become available at the end of Q1 2024. But they will be very expensive initially and not very useful for consumer use since they won't have motherboard support for some time.

I assume we need a PCIe6 chip. Yes? AMD Zen 5 or Intel 14 series CPUs? Or after that?

I would not expect them to be in consumer products until there are a substantial number of consumer PCIe 6 devices available, so I would guess quite some time. I would bet that it will be quite a bit later than either of those CPU families. There is just not sufficient need for that upgrade in consumer products to warrant the cost for at least a few years. It will be used in high end enterprise products well before consumer products.

why so much obsession ? do you sleep better with higher random numbers or your computer is too slow with the current PCIe standards ?

after a motherboard comes out.

You already have a post about 5.0 x 16.

Question - Why is there no SSD that can do 64GB/s in a full PCIe x16 slot?

Yes, I know there are X16 PCBs you can get that have 4 M2 slots. I don't mean that. I mean a PCIe 5.0 SSD that is itself, one single unit, in an x16 slot that does 64GB/s. Is there one and I just dont know about it?

It's starting to look like your just trolling.

5.0 SSD's are not super useful yet for 99% of this.

They need to focus on increasing random read/write IO.

Gen 3 and Gen 4 are still great for NVME drives.

I regret selling my gen 3 and upgrading to a gen 4 for no reason when they first came out. Wasted $$$.
