Nextorage shows PCIe 5 SSD solid state drives to enter the PC hardware market

CTOnews.com Sept. 18, last September, Sonny launched a September version of the firmware update for PS5 game consoles, allowing players to manually install M.2 solid-state drives to expand capacity. At the same time, Nextorage also took the opportunity to launch a PS5 dedicated solid state hard drive, with its own heat sink, with 1TB, 2TB optional.

Briefly, Nextorage, founded on October 1, 2019, is a company specializing in memory storage solutions and a company of engineers and employees who have inherited Sony's 20-year memory storage history.

At the time, everyone thought it was a temporary solution from Sony for PS5 storage needs. It turns out that Nextorage really wants to enter the SSD solid-state drive market and has launched a new consumer SSD.

According to Hermitage Akihabara, at the booth of the Tokyo Game Show, Nextorage showed players three SSD products for PC-1TB, 2TB and 4TB-with PCIe 5.0x4 interface.

According to reports, the Nextorage M2-2280 SSD can provide a read speed of 9500 MB/s and a write speed of 8500 MB/s (which is mainly determined by SLC cache), which looks very good and attracts the attention of many Japanese netizens. If pricing can be a little sincere, it will become one of the options for players to buy SSD.

The peak performance of the Nextorage drivers depends on the 3D NAND SSD speed they use and the company's ability to purchase related chips, which are said to be hard to get.

CTOnews.com learned that Nextorage showed not only high-end PC products at the Tokyo Gaming Show, but also a series of upcoming products, which they are expected to apply to mainstream PC products soon.
