PCIe 6.0 SSDs near market release after years of delays

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

PCIe 6.0 SSDs are finally nearing market release after years of delays, with Micron and Samsung already offering drives. The new standard utilizes PAM4 signaling, doubling data rates to 64 GT/s per lane but introducing complexity in controller design and requiring new interoperability testing. Despite these challenges, PCIe 6.0 promises increased bandwidth per watt, which is particularly beneficial for data centers supporting AI workloads. Major controller manufacturers like Marvell, Phison, and Silicon Motion are preparing their own PCIe 6.0 SSD platforms. AI

IMPACT Increased bandwidth per watt from PCIe 6.0 SSDs will benefit AI data centers.

RANK_REASON The article discusses the near-market release of a new hardware standard (PCIe 6.0 SSDs) after significant delays, involving multiple major tech companies. [lever_c_demoted from significant: ic=1 ai=0.7]
