Apple's press release for the new Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra chips initially stated the computer had "next-generation SSD architecture built on PCIe Gen 6." However, as spotted by the French blog Mac Generation, Apple removed the PCIe 6.0 mention shortly after publication. The press release still references a "next-generation SSD architecture" delivering up to twice the storage speeds of the prior generation but no longer cites PCIe 6.0. Apple has not responded to requests for comment, but the edit suggests a mistake, as the new Mac Studio likely supports PCIe 5.0.

This aligns with the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models using the same M5 Max chip, which feature PCIe 5.0 SSDs and similar speed claims. No consumer PCs currently offer PCIe 6.0 SSD support, and the M5 Ultra chip likely follows the same standard. The correction implies Apple intended to announce PCIe 5.0 capabilities, not PCIe 6.0, and the updated press release now reflects that.
