As of now, there is no information on the release date for upcoming SSDs that will use Maxio’s PCIe Gen5 controllers. Currently, consumer-grade SSDs have mainly featured controllers from Phison and Silicon Motion. However, it is expected that InnoSilicon, Samsung, and other companies will also enter the SSD market with their own offerings. With the increasing prevalence of Gen5 platforms, we can anticipate more options to become available later this year.
