Gigabyte's AORUS e-sports brand has just launched a PCIe 5.0 expansion card with a single-slot single-fan design. The feature of is the ability to convert four NVMe M.2 slots into the computer and support a maximum capacity of 16 TB. By configuring a RAID array, extremely fast data transfers of up to 60 GB/s are possible.
In addition, this AORUS Gen5 AIC expansion card is equipped with 8 temperature sensors + dual ball bearing fans with active temperature control, which can meet customers' needs for large-capacity, ultra-high-speed, and low-fever data access.
Jackson Hsu, Gigabyte Channel Solutions Product Development Director, said:
With the popularity of the PCIe 5.0 platform, high-speed storage can easily achieve access speeds of more than 10 GB/s.
But for users who pursue higher performance, AORUS PCIe 5.0 can also achieve even more extreme performance by building a RAID disk array.
Of course, users can also connect NVMe M.2 SSDs of different capacities and performance on the four onboard PCIe 5.0 x4 slots for maximum flexibility.
also has advanced heat dissipation design to avoid hitting the temperature wall when running at high speed.
In terms of appearance, the AORUS Gen5 AIC expansion card adopts brushed aluminum armor and bottom plate, taking into account both fashion and heat dissipation performance. The streamlined single-slot design of
can greatly improve the convenience of expansion without causing compatibility interference with other PCIe devices.
● 5CM double ball bearing fan can effectively dissipate the heat emitted when the SSD is running at high speed;
● onboard 8 temperature sensors can be used with AORUS Storage Manager and SSD Tool Box utility to control the operating temperature in real time.
● In addition, the independent PCIe 5.0 controller adopts a proprietary signal stabilization design to ensure the stability of PCIe 5.0 during high-speed operation.
● Finally, in addition to being paired with Intel Z690 / AMD 600 series PCIe 5.0 motherboards, the AORUS Gen5 AIC expansion card is also backwards compatible with PCIe 4.0 / 3.0 platforms.
