In an era where artificial intelligence defines the trajectory of technological innovation, high-performance storage has become the silent workhorse powering everything from edge inference to generative content pipelines. At COMPUTEX 2025, AGI Technology (亞奇雷科技), a homegrown Taiwanese memory brand, stepped up boldly—unveiling a refreshed and assertive product lineup that not only reaffirms its manufacturing prowess but aligns its roadmap closely with the AI generation.
Who is AGI Technology?
Founded in Taiwan, AGI (Agile Gear International) has evolved from a niche storage brand into a formidable force in high-performance flash memory, SSDs, and DRAM. While traditionally seen as a consumer-grade player, AGI is now positioning itself as a solutions provider for content creators, prosumers, and AI developers—thanks to a wave of performance-focused releases designed for speed, stability, and portability.
With its COMPUTEX 2025 showcase themed “Unleashing Creativity with High-Speed Storage,” AGI made it clear: it’s not just chasing trends—it’s building the infrastructure for them.
Flagship Announcements: Storage Reimagined for AI and Mobility
1. PCIe Gen5 x4 SSD – AGI Supreme Gen5
14,000 MB/s Read | 12,000 MB/s Write | NVMe 2.0
AGI’s top highlight is its PCIe Gen5 x4 SSD, designed for next-gen AI workstations and data-centric creators. With sequential read speeds peaking at 14,000MB/s, this drive breaks barriers for data throughput, enabling real-time 8K editing, AI model training, and high-volume data manipulation with zero bottlenecks. The SSD features a graphene heatsink for passive cooling—cleverly balancing thermals with form factor.
Project P10 and P14 are two unreleased products based on the Phison storage controllers.
2. USB4 Portable SSD – AGI Bolt Series
Up to 4,000 MB/s | USB4 + Thunderbolt 4 Compatible
In response to creators’ growing need for mobile high-speed storage, AGI introduced its first USB4 external SSD. With up to 4,000MB/s transfer speeds, the AGI Bolt Series merges speed with portability. Built in a rugged anodized aluminum shell, it supports Thunderbolt 4 natively and works seamlessly across Windows, macOS, and select Android flagships.
This makes it a perfect pairing for on-location editors, mobile developers, and live-streamers needing quick file dumps and real-time previews.
3. microSD Express (SD 7.1 Standard)
Two Times Faster Than UHS-II | AI-Ready Flash Memory
AGI is also one of the first Taiwanese brands to commercialize microSD Express cards, based on the SD 7.1 interface. These cards clock dramatically faster transfer speeds—making them a game-changer for mobile devices, high-res action cameras, and even next-gen handheld consoles like the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
The move underscores AGI’s pivot into AI-on-the-go applications, especially where low-latency read/write operations are crucial in edge inference or portable computing.
Supporting Cast: DRAM and Gaming Modules
Beyond headline-grabbers, AGI also showcased upgrades to its DRAM portfolio. This includes:
-
AGI DDR5 Gaming Modules: Featuring aggressive XMP/EXPO profiles, heatspreaders, and clock speeds exceeding 7200MHz.
-
Low-voltage DDR5 SO-DIMM kits: Designed for compact AI development boards, ultrabooks, and mini-PCs.
These enhancements broaden AGI’s reach—from data center grade throughput to edge-friendly memory solutions.
Strategic Vision: Not Just Faster, But Smarter Storage
AGI’s COMPUTEX presence suggests more than a product update—it’s a strategic recalibration. With AI workloads now spanning consumer to enterprise tiers, AGI is doubling down on speed, thermal resilience, and mobility. Their new focus is clear: building memory solutions that enable creativity, accelerate training pipelines, and support ubiquitous computing.
While not yet a dominant player in the enterprise NVMe space, AGI’s agile R&D cycles and growing international reach are allowing it to rapidly close that gap.
Final Thoughts
AGI’s offerings this year are more than iterative—they’re adaptive. The company has correctly identified the pain points of modern creators and AI developers: data bottlenecks, thermal ceilings, and the lack of universal portability.
In an ecosystem crowded with giants like Samsung and WD, AGI is carving out a niche as the “speed-first, creator-focused” brand that listens to real-world use cases.
And if COMPUTEX 2025 is any indication, the brand is ready to move from being an alternative to being the preferred.
