Gen5 storage at 14,800 MB/s, for the machine where nothing waits.
The Hiksemi Future Core 2TB is an M.2 2280 drive on a PCIe Gen5 x4 interface running NVMe 2.0d, rated at up to 14,800 MB/s sequential read and 12,800 MB/s write. This is the top of the current consumer storage stack — built for large game libraries, high-resolution video editing and photo archives where you are moving genuinely large files all day.
Under the label it uses 3D TLC NAND with Hiksemi's latest controller, fourth-generation agile ECC error correction (4K LDPC) and end-to-end data protection. The 1900 TBW endurance rating and 2 million hour MTBF put it squarely in workstation territory rather than casual use.
Key Features
- PCIe Gen5 x4, NVMe 2.0d: up to 14,800 MB/s read and 12,800 MB/s write.
- Very high random throughput: up to 2,000K IOPS 4K random read and 1,500K IOPS random write.
- Gen5 needs cooling: Gen5 drives run hot. Plan on a heatsink or your motherboard's M.2 heatspreader over it, with some airflow — without one, sustained transfers will throttle.
- Gen3 and Gen4 slots still work: it will run in an older slot, just at that slot's speed. To see Gen5 figures you need a Gen5 M.2 slot.
- 1900TB write endurance: rated at 1900 TBW with an MTBF of 2 million hours.
- End-to-end data protection: fourth-generation agile ECC correction (4K LDPC) guarding data integrity through the whole path.
- 3D TLC NAND: premium-grade 3D TLC flash, automated assembly and Hiksemi quality control.
- M.2 2280 form factor: the standard 80mm stick. Check your system's M.2 slot length, keying and PCIe generation before ordering.

What's in the Box
- 1 x Hiksemi Future Core 2TB Gen5 M.2 NVMe 3D NAND SSD
Backed by a 5 year warranty. A 2TB drive formats to roughly 1.86TB usable. As with any consumer SSD, writes land fastest in cache and settle lower on very large sustained transfers. This is the drive for an enthusiast build, a video editing workstation, or anyone whose day is spent waiting on file copies rather than on the CPU.

Questions
Before you buy
Will this drive fit my motherboard?
It connects over NVMe PCIe 5.0 x4 in the M.2 2280 form factor. Check that your board has a free slot of that type - an M.2 drive needs an M.2 socket of the right length, a SATA drive needs a SATA port and a power lead from the supply. A drive will still work in a slower slot than it is rated for, it just will not reach its full speed.
How much will actually fit on it?
It is a 2000GB drive. Formatted capacity always reads a little lower than the number on the box because drive makers count in decimal gigabytes and Windows reports binary ones - that is normal and not a fault. Leaving roughly ten percent free also helps an SSD hold its write speed over time.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
This one is out of stock at the moment. Stock does come back in - WhatsApp us on 079 491 0181 with the model and we will tell you what the supplier is showing and let you know when it lands, rather than leaving you to keep checking the page.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is free on every order. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R150 - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
