Perhaps the most interesting new product isgaming SSD IRDM Ultimate X. It is available in M.2 format, but the most interesting thing is the new high-speed PCI Express 4.0 connection interface, the throughput of which is twice that of PCIe 3.0. The company developed IRDM Ultimate X together with AMD, the drive is compatible with the AMD X570 chipset and the new Ryzen 3000 line processors. The drive uses four PCIe 4.0 lanes and supports NVMe. Inside are Toshiba 3D TLC NAND memory chips and a Phison PS3111-S16 controller. The drive will be available in 500 GB, 1 and 2 TB variants. They promise read speeds of up to 5000 MB/s and write speeds of up to 4500 MB/s for larger options; the 500 GB will have write speeds of up to 2500 MB/s. The number of I/O operations for random read/write will reach 750,000 IOPS (550,000 and 450,000 for the 500 GB version). An aluminum radiator is provided to cool the drive. IRDM Ultimate X will go on sale in November, approximate prices: 190, 290 and 590 euros for 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB respectively.
