UNIS S5 shows DRAMless SSDs can be speedy

UNIS has launched the S5, a game-changing M.2 Gen 5 NVMe SSD that breaks the mold for high-speed storage. Packed into a standard M.2-2280 form factor with a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface, the drive ditches traditional DRAM and leans on host memory buffer technology instead. It's designed to blaze through data with a mind-blowing sequential read speed of 14.9 GB/s and write speed of 12.9 GB/s.

For number-crunching data professionals, the drive delivers serious performance. It can achieve up to 1.8 million IOPS for 4K read tasks and 1.7 million IOPS for writes. Compared to other DRAMless drives, which typically max out around 12 GB/s in sequential transfers, the S5 stands out as a speed demon.

The real magic happens with UNIS's custom-built controller. Engineered to slash latency and keep data flowing like a digital highway, this controller challenges the conventional wisdom that high-end SSDs need DRAM-cached controllers to hit top speeds. The S5 proves you can achieve blazing performance with a lean, mean approach.

By skipping traditional DRAM and leveraging smart host memory buffer technology, UNIS has created an SSD that pushes the boundaries of storage speed. Data professionals looking for lightning-fast file transfers will find the S5 a compelling option that doesn't compromise on performance.
