“Astera Labs Demonstrates PCIe 6.0 SSD Reaching 27 GB/s”
https://www.storagereview.com/news/astera-labs-demonstrates-pcie-6-0-ssd-reaching-27-gb-s
“PCIe 6.x represents a substantial leap forward from PCIe 5.0,
effectively doubling available bandwidth per lane to 128 GT/s. In
practical terms, this means that while Gen5 SSDs top out around
14,000MB/s, Gen6 SSDs will reach up to around 28,000MB/s. Improving NVMe
SSD performance opens up practical opportunities for intensive workloads
such as AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing.”
“Astera Labs’ demonstration focused specifically on proving real-world viability. Utilizing their Scorpio P-Series fabric switch, the demo
achieved sequential read speeds of around 27 GB/s with development
Micron Gen6 SSDs. One of the primary challenges as PCIe evolves to
higher frequencies is maintaining stable data transmission over
traditional cabling and connectors. Astera Labs’ portfolio of PCIe 6.x solutions, including Aries 6 Retimers, Aries Smart Cable Modules, and
Scorpio P-Series Fabric Switches were expressly developed to enable
seamless connectivity at higher transfer rates.”
That is a lot of bits / bytes.
