News Phison CEO Expects PCIe 5 SSD Market to Remain Niche Until 2024

[Admin]

Phison's CEO expects PCIe 5 SSD adoption rate to remain slow until the second half of 2024. Initial adoption has mainly picked up in PCs targeted at eSports and content creation.

it'll be niche until intel goes pcie 5 only. then it'll be the greatest thing ever for pc's and will be welcomed with open arms

PCIe 5 has little reason to exist for everyday people like us, either this year or next. PCIe 3 storage is completely and totally sufficient for the enormous majority of consumer workloads, and will be for quite some time I suspect.

This might not be a popular opinion around here, but that doesn't make it not true.

I can assure him that if there are no Gen 5 SSDs to purchase then PCIe 5 SSDs will certainly be a niche market for a long time. The SSD folks really did a cluster on the Gen 5 SSDs that were all going to be available in the marketplace last Oct.

I think where PCIE5 should be good for everyday people in the near future is not the single PCIE5 x4 M.2 slot, but dual PCIE5 x2 M.2 slots and presumably lower cost PCIE5 x2 SSDs for more fast storage vs less super fast storage.

I was about to write almost exactly the same thing.

This also falls almost directly in line with my wish for a PCIe successor to SATA with integrated data+power for wired internal high-speed devices. Having all storage lay flat on the motherboard isn't practical beyond 2-3 SSDs and at x4 a pop, it is ridiculously tough on the PCIe budget on mainstream platforms too. With a wired x4 interface, you get to pick 4x1, 2x2, 1x2+2x1 or 1x4 break-out depending on what you need.
