Sony's Nextorage Demos PCIe 5.0 SSD As It Enters SSD Market
Sony could make a name for itself in the SSD space.

tldr
//Sony's Nextorage M2-2280 SSD with a PCIe Gen 5 x4 interface is an eyecatcher with its up-to 9500 MB/s reads as well as peak 8,500 MB/s writes (which is mostly determined by SLC caching on a modern mainstream SSD)//
My takeaways:
• Cache-bound trait now just an ordinary matter everyone takes for granted with real perf on a steep curve
• 2x interface speed ~> +30% peak access speed
• That heatsink indicates the
physics of the future: all very-highly integrated devices enter era of diminishing returns on packing due to thermals?
