The G560 SSD is available in capacities of up to 4TB, precisely what gamers expect from PCIe 5.0 SSDs. 8TB would be even better, but it probably wouldn’t sell well.
The 2TB version is rated at up to 14GB/s read and 12GB/s write. These numbers can be seen in sequential operations, while more demanding users will focus on IOPS, which is also high – up to 1400K read and write. In our tests, we can confirm that it performs even better than what was declared.
It is also worth mentioning an extended five-year warranty. It’s related to the high TBW – 1400 for the 2TB version, but many competitive SSDs have a three-year warranty.
The SSD arrived in perfect condition with 0 hours and 0 GB written on the counter.
The G560 slightly throttles during extended load – we can see up to 10% performance loss, which isn’t significant. This is normal for passively cooled SSDs with the Phison E26 controller. However, we can’t see it during regular work or extended gaming, where the maximum temperature was around 70°C without additional cooling. We still recommend a well-ventilated PC case to maintain optimal performance.
The G560 was fully stable in our tests, and all tests had no issues. So far, so good. Now, let’s take a look at the product itself.
