DapuStor Haishen5 SSD H5100 30.72TB Performance by CPU Architecture

Now that we are firmly in the PCIe Gen5 era, we have a number of AMD, Intel, and even AmpereOne platforms to test the drives in to see the differences in performance based on architecture. These are small, but important..

Since that is hard to read, we have a zoomed-in view below without a 0 X-axis.

We see a similar trend to the previous PCIe Gen4 generation, but AMD has actually done a lot to close the gap in terms of PCIe performance here.

It is fun to see that not all PCIe controllers are created equally and that there are differences even based on the platform the drive is put into.

Final Words

2025 is likely to be headlined by 122.88TB or 128TB SSDs, just because those are enormous. Those drives often trade performance to reach that high capacity. There are also smaller storage-class memory drives that are often in the 800GB to 1.6TB range. The H5100 falls somewhere between those drives.

The DapuStor H5100 SSD is just cool because it combines fast PCIe Gen5 speeds with 30.72TB of capacity. There is a lot to like in that combination.
