Nextorage, founded on Oct. 1, 2019, is a company specializing in memory storage solutions and a company that inherits a 20-year history of memory storage from Sony’s engineers and employees.
In September, Nextorage showcased its next-generation PCIe 5.0 SSD at the Tokyo Game Show, delivering sequential read speeds of 9500 MB/s and sequential write speeds of 8500 MB/s.
Recently, Japanese overclocker Shimizu_OC visited Nextorage headquarters and tested this PCIe 5.0 SSD with sequential read and write speeds of over 10,000MB/s.
As you can see from the pictures, the SSD is using the Qunar E26 host controller and appears to be the 2TB version.
However, the performance spike comes at the cost of increased heat dissipation requirements, with the NAND flash reaching 59°C when the SSD was equipped with a heat sink, but immediately spiking to 77°C without one and continuing to rise. shimizu_OC says this may be due to the lack of thermal throttling technology in early samples, but it also illustrates the higher heat dissipation requirements for next-generation SSDs.
The PCIe 5.0 SSD that Nextorage showed off at the Tokyo Game Show came with an oversized cooler, which Shimizu_OC says is an early version and will have a new design with a much smaller cooler in the future.
