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.
Found another of Patrick’s Easter Eggs! “storage-class memeory drives”
As a data hoarder I’m so happy we’re finally getting some decent capacity drives trickling down to affordable second-hand prices. Still a way to go before I’m truly happy but maybe a few of those upcoming 128TB drives might just do the trick!
We really need a Synology/QNAP offering that offers 4-8 bays of PCIe gen5 in a standard small desktop format enclosure.
We are getting to the point where large scale SSDs make more sense from a capacity standpoint than hdds do.
@James: so a budget solution like Synology or Qnap to host enterprise grade drives? Doesn’t make sense to me.
No inside view? So disappoint.

The KIOXIA FL6 SCM Series goes up to 3.2 TB.
So how can I get an idea on the prices of these drives mentioned here? It’s not like they’re available at AMZ.
How about prices? Yes, exact values may depend on factors such as quantity, but a figure should be provided. It’s not a national secret.
@James: even if we did have a NAS with 4 bays of gen5 U.2 bays, it would need a 400gb ethernet interface to saturate those drives. You couldn’t tell the difference between four gen3/4/5 drives with a more commonplace 10/25/100gb NIC.
