Specification of GIGABYTE NVMe 512GB SSD

Interface:

PCI Express 4.0 x4 NVMe 1.4 – Utilizes the latest NVMe 1.4 protocol over the high-speed PCIe Gen 4 x4 interface. This offers significantly faster performance compared to both SATA and PCIe Gen 3 NVMe SSDs.

Form Factor:

2 2280 – This compact design makes it ideal for modern laptops and desktops that have M.2 slots sized for 2280 form factor drives.

Capacity:

512GB – Provides storage space for essential applications, the operating system, frequently used files, and some larger games or media files.

Performance:

Sequential Read Speeds: Up to 5,000 MB/s – Blazing-fast read speeds for minimal loading times and quicker file transfers.
Sequential Write Speeds: Up to 4,400 MB/s – Exceptional write speeds for tasks involving frequent data creation or manipulation.
Random Read/Write IOPS (not officially advertised): Expect high IOPS figures in the hundreds of thousands, indicating excellent responsiveness for small file operations.

Endurance:

TBW (Total Bytes Written): Not officially specified by Gigabyte, but likely in the range of 1200-1600 TBW due to the Gen 4 interface.
5-Year Limited Warranty: Extended warranty reflecting the expected high endurance of this drive.

Controller:

Gigabyte likely utilizes a high-performance Phison E18 controller specifically designed for Gen 4 NVMe SSDs. The exact model number may not be publicly available.

NAND Flash Type:

Gigabyte doesn’t disclose the specific NAND type (TLC, QLC, etc.), but high-quality 3D NAND flash is likely used for better performance and endurance.

Additional Features:

Thermal Guard (Copper heatsink): Helps dissipate heat and maintain optimal performance under heavy workloads.
Multi-Core Processor Architecture: Efficient controller design for fast data processing.
Support for various data security features like TCG Opal and IEEE-1667 encryption (model specific).
Gigabyte SSD Tool Box software for monitoring drive health and performance.
