Micron just unveiled its next-gen PCIe 6.0 SSD that will reportedly reach speeds of over 26GB/s. That's a massive increase over PCIe 5.0, but there's a catch.
Micron just announced an important milestone: It’s working on the world’s first PCIe 6.0 SSD , and it sure looks like it’s going to offer blisteringly fast speeds. Micron promises to deliver sequential read bandwidths of over 26GB/s — quite a feat, considering that the fastest SSD s out right now max out at 14.5GB/s.
Recommended Videos Right now, PCIe 5.0 SSDs are readily available in stores, and we’ve seen the gradual rise in speeds as the technology is starting to mature. One of the fastest SSDs currently available to people like you and me is the Crucial T705, which hits read speeds of 14.5GB/s. That’s an 80% uplift between that SSD and what Micron is working on right now, and Micron promises to reach “over 26 GB/s,” so that gap could grow wider.
Micron isn’t just ushering in new SSDs, though, because its upcoming GDDR7 memory is also on the horizon — and that will find its way to consumers a lot quicker. Rumor has it that Nvidia’s next-gen RTX 50-series will use GDDR7 memory, and Micron touts an up to 30% performance improvement in games between GDDR6 and GDDR7.
