The Verbatim Vi5000 512GB utilises the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5000 MB/s, significantly reducing boot times and application load times for modern PC builds. Designed for mainstream users and system builders, this NVMe SSD provides a substantial step up from PCIe 3.0 and SATA storage without the premium associated with top-tier enthusiast drives.

PCIe 4.0 bandwidth for faster system responsiveness

By leveraging four lanes of PCIe 4.0 bandwidth, the Vi5000 achieves sequential read speeds of up to 5000 MB/s and sequential writes up to 2500 MB/s. This translates directly to faster large file transfers and shorter loading screens. For daily multitasking and operating system navigation, random performance is equally critical. The drive pushes up to 375,000 IOPS for random reads and 500,000 IOPS for random writes, ensuring that background processes and rapid small-file requests are handled without system stutter.

Built for longevity and sustained daily use

Storage reliability is paramount for a primary boot drive. The Vi5000 is built with dense 3D NAND flash memory, which improves both power efficiency and overall drive lifespan compared to older planar designs. Verbatim rates this 512GB model for a robust 500 Terabytes Written (TBW) endurance, providing ample headroom for years of daily computing, document saving, and media playback. Backed by a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of over one million hours and a 2-year limited warranty, the drive is engineered for long-term data stability.

Broad compatibility in a standard M.2 2280 footprint

Adhering to the industry-standard M.2 2280 form factor, the Vi5000 measures just 80 x 22 x 2.3 mm and weighs a mere 6.5 grams. This slim profile ensures straightforward installation into standard ATX desktop motherboards, small form factor (SFF) builds, and modern thin-and-light laptops. The drive is rated to operate safely within a 0°C to 70°C temperature range, making it suitable for compact enclosures where airflow may be restricted.
