The Gigabyte AORUS Gen5 14000 2TB, part number AG514K2TB, is a flagship PCIe Gen5 internal M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with reads up to 14,500MB/s — among the fastest consumer drives in the world — built for hardcore gaming, AI and demanding content creation. It pairs the high-performance Phison E26 controller with a 4GB LPDDR4 DRAM cache and 3D TLC NAND, and ships with a dedicated heatsink to keep this powerful drive cool under load.
With sequential reads up to 14,500MB/s and writes up to 12,700MB/s, the AORUS Gen5 14000 sits at the top of consumer SSD performance. Carrying EAN 4719331862589 and MPN AG514K2TB, it uses a 4GB DRAM cache for elite, consistent performance, is rated for 1400TBW with a 1,600,000-hour MTBF and a 5-year limited warranty. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility note
To reach its full speed the AORUS Gen5 14000 needs an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 x4 slot, found on recent desktop motherboards; it is backward compatible with PCIe Gen4 at reduced speed. It includes its own heatsink, so check M.2 clearance under your motherboard’s shroud or GPU. The heatsink adds height, so it is intended for desktops, not thin laptops. It will not work in SATA-only M.2 slots.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to get the full 14,500MB/s speed?
You need a motherboard with an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen5 x4 slot. The AORUS Gen5 14000 also works in Gen4 slots, but at Gen4 speeds. Gen5 is currently found mainly on recent desktop platforms.
Does it come with a heatsink?
Yes. The AORUS Gen5 14000 ships with its own dedicated heatsink to manage the heat Gen5 drives produce. Check clearance under your motherboard’s M.2 shroud or graphics card, as the heatsink adds height — it is intended for desktops.
Is it worth it over a Gen4 SSD?
For everyday use and gaming the real-world difference over a fast Gen4 drive is modest. The AORUS Gen5 14000 is for those who truly benefit from extreme sequential bandwidth — AI, 8K video and large project transfers — on a Gen5 system.
Why the 4GB DRAM cache?
A large DRAM cache helps the controller manage the drive’s mapping tables efficiently, supporting consistent high performance under heavy, sustained workloads — one reason this is a flagship rather than a value Gen5 drive.
Singular Expert Insight
The Gigabyte AORUS Gen5 14000 is a true flagship: Phison E26, a 4GB DRAM cache and an included heatsink combine for chart-topping 14,500MB/s speed. The 2TB is the sweet spot for enthusiasts and professionals with a Gen5 desktop who want extreme bandwidth for AI, 8K video and large project work. It runs hot and draws more power than newer efficient Gen5 drives, so good airflow helps. For everyday gaming a strong Gen4 drive like the Samsung 990 PRO feels similar for far less, so the AORUS Gen5 14000 is a halo product for those who need the bandwidth. Compare tiers across our

Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You have a PCIe Gen5 desktop and want a flagship 2TB drive with an included heatsink and 4GB DRAM for gaming, AI or content creation, with a 5-year warranty.
Skip it if
Your system only has Gen4 (a 990 PRO is cheaper for similar real-world feel), you have a thin laptop, or you want the most power-efficient cool-running Gen5 drive.
Also consider
The Crucial T710 or WD_BLACK SN8100 for efficient Gen5, the Lexar NM1090 PRO as an alternative, or the Samsung 990 PRO for value Gen4.
