The Samsung PM1743 PCIe 5.0 SSD was able to hit speeds of over 13GB/s in real world testing.
Ahead of CES 2022, former tech journalist and now Intel employee Ryan Shrout has given us an idea of just how fast Samsung’s new PCIe 5.0 SSD will be when it releases next year. In a post on Twitter, Shrout explained that while he was going to save the demo for press at the tech conference, he figured he’d show it off to everyone else online instead. During his tests using a 12th-gen (Alder Lake) Intel Core i9-12900k CPU, an Asus Z690 motherboard, a Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card and of course Samsung’s new enterprise-class PM1743 PCIe 5.0 SSD, the drive was able to hit speeds of over 13GB/s. While this exact drive won’t be available to consumers as it’s intended for enterprise use in workstations and data centers, Shrout made a video of him running benchmarks on it to give users a better idea of the kind of improvements PCIe 5.
