What is a PCIe Gen 5 SSD?
A PCIe Gen 5 SSD uses the fifth generation of the PCI Express interface for data transfer, providing nearly double the bandwidth of Gen 4 SSDs.
- Gen 5 speeds: Up to 10–15 GB/s
- Gen 4 speeds: ~7 GB/s maximum
The EDGE 2 Gen 5 is also backward compatible with Gen 4 slots – it will run flawlessly but at half the available bandwidth.
Technical Deep Dive: AI Meets Storage
At the heart of the EDGE 2 Gen 5 lies the AI-enhanced Phison E28 Gen5 controller, built on TSMC’s 6nm process. Its aiDAPTIV+ 2.0 architecture intelligently allocates data across a tiered caching system for maximum speed and efficiency. Built-in AI acceleration also offloads demanding tasks from the GPU and optimises memory usage, helping to reduce AI model training times by up to 50% and boost workflow efficiency.
