Chinese PCIe 5.0 SSD boasts 14.9 GB/s speeds, positioning as the fastest mainstream PCIe 5.0 drive on the market

UNIS SSD S5 Ultra.

Chinese manufacturer UNIS (a subsidiary of Tsinghua Unigroup) has unveiled its S5 lineup of PCIe 5.0 SSDs, a strong contender for one of the best SSDs. The company (via ITHome) claims the drive speeds are up to 14.9 GB/s, faster than the Crucial T705 and Samsung 9100 Pro, two of the fastest consumer PCIe 5.0 drives.

The S5 family features the base S5 and the S5 Ultra, both of which conform to the M.2 2280 form factor and use the PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. Soon after their debut in China, some units will reach Western markets for review through online channels such as AliExpress.
