  • 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

The GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD adopts the Phison controller and high-quality 3D NAND, providing up to 2400 MB/s sequential read and 1800 MB/s sequential write performance. Utilizing Host Memory Buffer technology, the SSD controller can access the main DRAM without performance loss. 

Additionally, the GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD features support for TRIM, SMART, and Over-Provision for data security and consistent performance.

Breaking the Barriers of SATA Limitations (1TB)

Excellent performance

  1. The GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD provides performance for your daily computing tasks, featuring the best controller and 3D NAND flash.
    1. Sequential read speeds up to 2400 MB/s
    2. Sequential write speeds up to 1800 MB/s
  2. The GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD offers you a faster data transfer experience compared to the SATA 2.5" SSD.

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.

Energy saving during operation

Compared to the regular PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD, the GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD reduces power consumption by approximately 40%+ during operation. The power consumption of the GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD is significantly improved.

SSD Tool Box

The recently updated SSD Tool Box is a software that provides users with an overview of the SSD's status and various aspects such as model name, FW version, health status, and sensor temperature. Additionally, users can erase all data with the Secure Erase function. You can download the SSD Tool Box from the link.

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.

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.
