When Sabrent earlier this year announced plans to build a PCIe Gen5 SSD with a read speed of 14 GB/s, we were impressed. Today Sabrent sent out a screenshot with proof that its upcoming Rocket X5 can achieve such a level of performance and even said that it is working to achieve even higher speeds to topple the best SSDs currently available.
Sabrent's Rocket X5 can hit sequential read speeds of 14,179 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 12,280 MB/s in CrystalDiskMark. As for random performance, Sabrent's prototype drive can hit 1.56 million 4K read IOPS and 1.669 4K write IOPS, comparable to high-end enterprise-grade SSDs.
