Verbatim Vi5000 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD

The Verbatim Vi5000 is an NVMe M.2 SSD that uses the PCIe 4.0 interface – and that determines its speed. This format connects directly to the motherboard, without extra cables. The 2TB storage capacity provides ample space for an extensive game library, large project files, or a comprehensive media collection. It is an internal drive, designed to be installed in a desktop PC or compatible laptop.

The connection to the PCIe 4.0 standard is its central feature. This interface provides a wider data highway compared to older SATA or PCIe 3.0 SSDs. In practice, this translates to faster loading times for applications and copying large files. It is important to know that your motherboard must also support this standard to benefit from the speed advantages. On a system with only PCIe 3.0 support, the drive will work, but not at its maximum potential.

Under the Hood

• 2TB – the total storage capacity for games, software, and files.
• NVMe M.2 (2280) – the physical size and connection standard for direct mounting on the motherboard.
• PCIe 4.0 – the interface used for high data transfer speeds.

The drive has the compact M.2 2280 form factor – 22 millimetres wide and 80 millimetres long. This is a common size that fits most modern PCs. Mounting is done with a single screw directly onto the motherboard, enabling a clean, cable-free build inside the computer case. The design is purely functional, focused on efficient heat dissipation and reliable performance within your computer's chassis.

With 2TB of space, this is a drive for users who want a lot of data readily available. Think of game developers with large asset libraries, video editors working with raw 4K footage, or gamers with an extensive collection of modern titles. It is an internal drive, so it is not intended as external, portable storage. The performance is most noticeable in tasks that involve a lot of sequential data reading and writing, such as launching heavy programmes or moving media files.

The NVMe architecture minimises latency, making the system respond faster when it requests data from the drive.
