Micron has showcased its upcoming PCIe 6.0 SSD, the Micron 9650 Pro, at Computex, boasting potential speeds of up to 30.25GB/s—double that of current PCIe 5.0 drives. However, adoption in gaming rigs is still a ways off, as the necessary motherboard support and PCI-SIG certification are pending. While we won’t see this tech in consumer PCs just yet, it’s exciting to glimpse the future of storage.
Question for discussion: With such rapid advancements in SSD technology, how do you think the gaming experience will evolve once PCIe 6.0 becomes mainstream? Will these speeds significantly change how games are developed and played?
