PCIe 6.0 SSDs Enter the Market: Up to 30 GB/s Sequential Performance Marks the Start of a New Enterprise Storage Era in 2025
The storage industry has officially entered a new era. In 2025, PCIe 6.0 SSDs reached up to 28–30 GB/s sequential read speeds, delivering performance that was previously only possible with complex multi-drive RAID configurations.
