Dato shows DDR5 modules and PCIe Gen5 SSDs with heavier cooling at Computex

TechPowerUp reported from Dato's Computex 2026 booth, where the company showed Ares Armor Lite DDR5 memory modules in 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB capacities with DDR5-5600, DDR5-6000, and DDR5-6400 speed options. The same lineup also included Ares-branded M.2 Gen5 NVMe SSDs, including a DRAMless Aethon model and an Aerofin model with active cooling. For RamTrend, this is mainly a product-portfolio signal rather than a pricing catalyst. The DDR5 capacities and speeds place Dato in mainstream consumer and enthusiast memory segments, while the cooled Gen5 SSD designs reflect the thermal burden that high-performance client SSDs still face. The article does not include prices, shipment volumes, NAND sourcing, DRAM suppliers, or channel inventory data, so the market impact should be treated as limited.
