The new standard of solid state drives, called PCIe 5.0, will be announced at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show, with early hardware that supports the new standard teased. Intel has released a new demo video showing off the new PM1743 PCIe NVMe SSD in action, which can hit data speeds over 13GB/s in the real world.

The perks of the job! I was going to save this demo for #CES2022 but now I want to share it with everyone. Here's a 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900K system with a new @Samsung PM1743 PCIe 5.0 SSD getting over 13GB/s.

Sony argues that the fast speeds on its solid-state drive enable the near-instant load times on its consoles, which is one of the main selling points of the PlayStation 5. That drive is more than half of the speeds that the Intel /Samsung system can manage.

The first super fast SSDs were teased.

That kind of data transfer rate isn't the most feasible set up right now, given that it requires a rig with Intel's latest, most powerful processor and an enterprise-grade SSD that isn't even out yet

The demo shows off the potential of what next-generation storage could offer once the norm is PCIe 5.0 drives.
