The Gigabyte Aorus Gen5 12000 is another super-fast PCIe 5.0 SSD capable of pushing over 12 GB/s. It also comes with a very effective heatsink. However, it’s not as good at 1TB, and availability remains an issue.
Gigabyte unveiled the successor to its Aorus Gen5 10000 SSD: the Aorus Gen5 12000 SSD, which has sequential read speeds of up to 12.4 GB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 11.8 GB/s.
The first PCI Express 5.0 SSD we've tested, Gigabyte's Aorus 10000 Gen5 shows off the promise and potential of this new speedy bus for new-build PCs, but you'll need the very latest supporting hardware to reap its searing top speeds.
