Nextorage (a company that's been closely associated with Sony) is releasing a new PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSD, called the NE5N, with blisteringly quick read and write speeds rated to 10,000 MB/s, aimed at the enthusiast PC market. The drive is available for pre-order on Newegg starting at $249.99 for 1TB and doubling in price and capacity to $499.99 for 2TB, and will officially launch on June 5th.
We first spotted this drive in prototype form at the Tokyo Game Show, where Nextorage first indicated its intention to compete in the PCIe Gen 5 market, which is something we didn't think it would do just a year prior. The company has transformed a lot since its inception; it was originally thought to be a PlayStation 5 SSD supplier alone, due to its roots with Sony, but it has since morphed into a respected SSD manufacturer with SSD designs made for both console and PC that compete with the Best SSDs on the market.
