It’s not wrong to think your latest collection of cutting-edge CPU, GPU and silicon chips, aka PS5, deserves a worthy wingman. In fact, having fast, adequate storage is a great way to diminish downtime and make
the most of your precious PlayStation.
A solid storage upgrade now, for the future
Both AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD series & AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD series are available in 1TB and 2TB to upgrades for your PS5 through speedy reading, cool running, and solid-state performance. The recommended read speed by Sony is 5,500 MB/s or greater, and though the AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD is advertised as 5,000 MB/s, internal testing has reportedly shown it runs breezily at 5,600 MB/s. The other series, AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD, delivers 7,000 MB/s blazing read speed. Both AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD series & AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD series meet the required performance and dimensions of PS5 M.2 SSDs.
What is an M.2 SSD?
M.2 SSD devices are a high-speed solid state drive medium that PS5 players can use to increase the storage capacity of their PS5 console with physical dimensions that are smaller than previous SSD form factors.
Why add an M.2 SSD to your PS5 console?
Once installed in the PS5 console, M.2 SSD storage can be used to download, copy, and launch PS5 and PS4 games, as well as media apps. This lets you increase available storage space on your PS5 console, as well as transfer content between the PS5 console’s storage, a connected USB extended storage device, and your newly added M.2 SSD storage.
Is NVMe for Me?
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is an interface and driver specifically designed for SSDs. Read and write tasks perform exponentially faster using NVMe than drivers such as AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) which are a feature of current SATA SSDs. Because it was built for SSDs, NVMe is quickly becoming the new industry standard for data servers and client devices including laptop and desktop PCs, next gen gaming consoles, and more.
KEY FEATURES
Key features of theAORUS Gen4 7000s SSDs & AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSDs include:
Measurable storage performance
With 2nd generation, PCIe 4.0 controller E18, AORUS Gen4 7000s SSDs deliver speeds up to 7,000 MB/s for sequential read, and up to 6,800 MB/s for sequential write. In addition, by utilizing Phison PS5016-E16, AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSDs are rated at 5,600 MB/s read speed when working with PS5.
Sequential read performance of PCIe 4.0 SSDs is twice as fast as PCIe 3.0 SSDs, which results in faster and smoother gaming, streaming, and graphics-intensive rendering.
AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD series: Optimized aluminum heat spreaders with Nanocarbon coating for cooler temps
Passive cooling benefits from maximized surface area for heat dissipation with advanced thermal technology via Nanocarbon coating, while a dual side high conductivity thermal pad ensures rapid heat transferring to the heatsink. The 7mm height heatsink is compatible with all M.2 slots—even the one below the graphics card slot. Compared to an SSD without a heatsink, the AORUS 7000s SSD series can run 5 times longer at 7GB/s which helps mitigate, if not eliminate, throttling.
AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD series: Full Body Copper Thermal Solution
AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSDs adopt the full body copper heatsink, it takes into account the heat transfer from key components on both the front and back of the controller and NAND Flash. The full body copper heat spreaders help performance more stability and are 16% cooler than plated M.2 heat spreaders.
Why is keeping lower temps on SSDs so important?
Higher temperatures can cause data loss; the possibility of memory degradation rises as heat increases. By using heat spreaders, the AORUS Gen4 7000sSSDs & AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSDs are designed to operate at lower working temperatures to improve data storage reliability and run at optimal performance longer.
With the speed, capacity, and heat-resistant capabilities of the AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD series & AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD series are available in 1TB and 2TB, you can make sure your games, online goods, and content are safe, secure, and at the ready in a flash.
