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.

Lightning-Fast NVMe Speeds That Break the Limits of SATA

The Gigabyte NVMe SSD V2 256GB is designed to deliver top-tier performance for your everyday computing tasks, leaving behind the limitations of traditional 2.5" SATA drives once and for all. Thanks to the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection and the NVMe 1.4 protocol, it achieves impressive sequential read speeds of up to 3200 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 1200 MB/s. Equipped with a top-class controller and high-quality NAND flash memory, it guarantees instant operating system boot-up and lightning-fast transfer of large files.

Smart Host Memory Buffer (HMB) Technology for Stability

One of the most advanced features of the Gigabyte V2 is full support for Host Memory Buffer (HMB) technology. This function uses the DMA (Direct Memory Access) architecture of the PCI Express bus, allowing the SSD to borrow and use a portion of the host system's DRAM memory instead of requiring its own expensive DRAM on the board. This dramatically improves the drive's performance and responsiveness under heavy workloads, with the feature fully supported by Windows 10 and 11.

Complete Monitoring with SSD Tool Box Software

Maintain control and keep the health of your storage device in excellent condition with Gigabyte’s upgraded SSD Tool Box application. Through a user-friendly interface, the software provides general information such as the model name and firmware version, while allowing you to monitor the health condition and temperature of the drive via sensors. In addition, it offers drive optimization options and the important Secure Erase function for the safe and permanent deletion of all your data when needed.

Gigabyte Control Center (GCC) and Advanced Reliability

The drive is fully integrated into the GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER (GCC), a unified and intuitive software platform for all of the company’s supported products, which offers automatic updates to keep your system always up to date. In terms of durability, the SSD stands out for its top-tier reliability, offering an impressive MTBF (mean time between failures) rating of 1.5 million hours. It comes with a limited 3-year factory warranty or 100TBW (Total Bytes Written), ensuring maximum long-term durability and complete peace of mind for your data.
