BIWIN Black Opal X570 1TB Gen5 M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 NVMe 2.0 SSD

The BIWIN Black Opal X570 1TB is a PCIe Generation 5 solid-state drive built to the NVMe 2.0 specification, designed for users who need maximum sequential throughput from a compact M.2 2280 form factor. Utilising a full-bandwidth PCIe 5.0 x4 interface, the drive achieves sequential read speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 7,300 MB/s — figures made possible by the doubled per-lane bandwidth that PCIe 5.0 delivers compared to its Gen4 predecessor. The X570 1TB uses Premium TLC (Triple-Level Cell) NAND flash, a technology that balances high storage density with strong endurance characteristics for both everyday computing and sustained workloads. The drive adopts a DRAM-less design, relying on the host memory buffer (HMB) capability built into the NVMe 2.0 specification to manage address mapping, keeping the component count lean and the drive's operating temperature profile in check. At just 2280 mm in length, the drive slots into any standard M.2 socket on a compatible PCIe 5.0 motherboard — typically those based on Intel's 700-series or AMD's X670/X670E platform chipsets. The M.2 2280 footprint means it fits the vast majority of modern desktop and high-performance laptop slots without the need for adapters. For content creators moving large RAW video files, PC builders seeking a primary boot and application drive, or enthusiasts upgrading from an older Gen3 or Gen4 platform, the X570 1TB positions itself as a straightforward Gen5 entry point within the Black Opal lineup, which also includes 2TB and 4TB variants.
