| Drive configuration | |
|---|---|
| Form factor | M.2 2280, M-key, NVMe 2.0 over PCIe 5.0 ×4 |
| Capacities | 1 TB |
| At this capacity | The entry capacity for a Gen5 slot. A 1 TB drive spends more of its life near full than a 2 TB one does, and a nearly full TLC drive has less spare area to run in SLC mode. The DRAM buffer helps the mapping lookups, not that. |
| Sequential read | Up to 10,000 MB/s, PCIe 5.0 ×4 is 32 GT/s aggregate, about 15.75 GB/s usable, so roughly 63% of the link. The ceiling here is NAND and controller, not the bus. |
| Sequential write | Up to 9,500 MB/s, into SLC-mode cache. Sustained writes past the cache fall to native TLC speed; the DRAM buffer helps the mapping lookups, not the program time. |
| NAND | 3D TLC with a dedicated DRAM buffer (supplier-stated). The DRAM holds the FTL mapping table on the drive rather than borrowing host memory over HMB. The difference shows up in sustained random writes and on a nearly full drive, where a DRAM-less controller has to fetch map pages across PCIe. Controller part number is not published. |
| Cooling | Machined aluminium heatsink, fitted. Gen5 controllers dissipate roughly 8–11 W under sustained load and throttle within seconds bare. The heatsink is a requirement. It also puts the module outside the PS5 bay envelope and any laptop M.2 slot, and it will foul a GPU that sits over the primary M.2. |
| Platform support & assurance | |
|---|---|
| Fits | CPU-attached M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 slots at full speed (AM5 · LGA1851 · Gen5-capable LGA1700). It links down cleanly in a Gen4 or Gen3 slot, but then it performs like a Gen4 or Gen3 drive. Check that the slot is Gen5 and CPU-attached, not chipset-attached, before paying the premium. |
| Does not fit | Laptops or PS5 (heatsink height) · M.2 SATA-only slots · 2.5″ SATA bays |
| Condition | New. Link speed, SMART, sequential and random pass verified before dispatch (the process) |
| Availability | A physical unit count appears here only when the warehouse ledger holds one for this kit. Where none is shown we hold no count, and we print no estimate in its place, ask us and we check the shelf before you pay. |
| Product photography | The images on this page are the ones we hold for this line, published as they are. There is no photograph of the exact unit that would ship to you, and where we hold no photograph of a configuration we show none rather than a stock image of a different module. |
| Warranty | Two years from the date of purchase, handled directly by Flowfinds Solutions Kft. Covers defects in materials and function; not physical damage, overclocking beyond the module's specification, or modification. Your statutory rights are unaffected, EU consumers keep the two-year legal guarantee of conformity, UK consumers their Consumer Rights Act 2015 rights. Full terms. |

Engineering notes
PCIe 5.0 ×4 carries about 15.75 GB/s. At 10,000 MB/s read this drive uses roughly 63% of it. Unlike the Gen4 drives, it is limited by its NAND and controller, not the bus, which is why Gen5 headline numbers keep climbing while the connector stays the same.
Gen5 controllers dissipate roughly 8 to 11 W under sustained load. Bare, they throttle within seconds. The machined aluminium heatsink is a functional requirement, and the direct consequence is that this drive does not fit the PS5 M.2 bay, does not fit any laptop, and will foul a GPU that sits over the primary M.2 slot on some boards.
A dedicated DRAM buffer holds the flash translation layer mapping table on the drive. A DRAM-less controller borrows host memory over HMB, typically 64 MB, which is adequate for light desktop use and degrades on sustained random writes and on a nearly full drive, where map pages have to be fetched across PCIe. This is supplier-stated; the controller part number is not published by the supplier.
It links down cleanly to Gen4 and Gen3, and then it performs exactly like a Gen4 or Gen3 drive while costing Gen5 money. Confirm the slot is PCIe 5.0 and CPU-attached, a chipset-attached slot shares uplink bandwidth with everything else on the chipset.
Large sequential file movement: video ingest, disk images, dataset staging. It does not show up in game load times, which are bound by low-queue-depth 4K random reads. If your reason for buying is faster game loads, the Gen4 drive at a third of the price is the honest recommendation.
9,500 MB/s is into SLC-mode cache. Past the cache the drive writes at native TLC program speed regardless of link generation. The DRAM buffer accelerates mapping lookups, not flash programming.
Where this line is the wrong answer
The machined heatsink is a requirement, not a finish, a Gen5 controller dissipates roughly 8 to 11 W under sustained load and throttles within seconds bare. It also puts the module outside the PS5 bay envelope and any laptop M.2 slot. The Gen4 lines are the parts shaped for those machines.
It links down cleanly and then performs like a Gen4 drive, which is a thing you can already buy for less than half of this. Check the manual for which M.2 slot is wired to the processor before ordering; on most boards only one is.
Games load from an already-fast Gen4 drive at essentially the same speed, because the bottleneck moved to decompression and to the CPU years ago. If the reason for buying is loading screens, the money buys more somewhere else, and we would rather say so than take it.
Buying more than one
There is no volume discount ladder in our catalogue, so this is the multiplication written out rather than a tier structure designed to make a bigger number look like a saving. What quantity does change is supply, consistency and replacement stock — those terms are on the trade page.
