Verbatim Vi5000 NVMe 512GB Gen4 SSD

The Verbatim Vi5000 is a PCIe Generation 4 NVMe M.2 2280 internal solid state drive designed for users who need fast, reliable storage in a compact form factor. Built on the NVMe protocol over a PCIe Gen4 interface, the Vi5000 establishes a direct, low-latency data path between the drive and the CPU, reducing bottlenecks that older SATA and PCIe Gen3 drives encounter under sustained workloads. With sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 2,500 MB/s, the Vi5000 handles large file operations — such as transferring RAW video footage, loading high-resolution project assets, or moving game installs — with noticeably less wait time compared to previous-generation drives. Random performance reaches up to 375,000 read IOPS and up to 500,000 write IOPS, making the drive responsive during multitasking scenarios where many small files are accessed simultaneously. The 512 GB capacity provides space for an operating system, frequently used applications, active project files, and a library of games or media, while the PCIe Gen4 interface ensures those files load quickly rather than queuing behind a slower bus. The M.2 2280 (80 mm) form factor fits the standard M.2 slot found in most modern motherboards and laptops that support PCIe Gen4, and is backward-compatible with PCIe Gen3 slots at reduced speeds. Verbatim rates the Vi5000 512 GB for a total bytes written (TBW) endurance of 500 TBW, giving a measurable indication of long-term write durability. The drive carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
