  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    PCI Express 3.0

    Connecting to the PCI Express expansion port of the motherboard. Equally popular way of connecting SSD hard drives directly to the motherboard. This connection offers the highest speeds.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Description

Description

This drive dramatically improves the responsiveness of your existing system with incredible boot, load, and transfer times compared to mechanical hard drives.

Host Memory Buffer (HMB)

The Host Memory Buffer (HMB) function uses the PCI Express Direct Memory Access (DMA) to allow SSDs to use part of the DRAM memory in the computer system, instead of requiring the SSD to carry its own DRAM.

Breaking the Barriers of SATA Limitations

Outstanding Performance

  1. The GIGABYTE M.2 PCIe SSD provides performance for your daily computing tasks, featuring the best controller and NAND flash.
    1. Sequential read speeds up to 1200 MB/s.
    2. Sequential write speeds up to 800 MB/s.
  2. The GIGABYTE M.2 PCIe SSD offers you a faster data transfer experience compared to the SATA 2.5" SSD.

SSD Tool Box

The recently updated SSD Tool Box is an application that helps users monitor the status of the SSD, providing general information such as model name, FW version, health status, drive optimization, and also detects the sensor temperature. 

Additionally, users can erase all data with the Secure Erase function. You can download the SSD Tool Box from Support.

Capacity
512 GB

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

Form Factor
M.2 (Type 2280)

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    If it is intended for use as a system disk or as a backup (i.e., with a lot of continuous read/write daily), then the Gigabyte NVMe SSD 512GB M.2 PCI Express 3.0 is one of the best options. With a durability of 800TBW, it has one of the highest TBWs on the market in the PCIE GEN3 category. This was the main reason for its preference. The 5-year warranty and the high lifespan of 800TBW are clearly higher than many SSDs on the market (e.g., Samsung, WD, Kingston, Patriot, Crucial, etc.), see greater longevity of the disk over time.

    I have installed one (AG4512G-SI B10) in a gaming laptop as the main (C:\) disk of the Win11 operating system, and another one in an NVMe enclosure for use as an external backup disk.

    The only NVMe SSD with a longer lifespan that I have found in the same capacity and category is the WD Red with 1000TBW.
