All-Round SSD GIGABYTE M.2 SSD adopts Phison's E15T controller and 3D NAND flash, delivers up to 3400 MB/s sequential reads and 2500 MB/s sequential write performance. By utilizing Host Memory Buffer technology, the SSD controller can access the host DRAM without performance loss. Breaking the Barriers of SATA Limitations (500GB) - Outstanding performance - GIGABYTE M.2 SSD provides performance for your daily computing tasks, boast of best controller & NAND flash that provide. - Sequential read speeds up to 3400 MB/s - Sequential write speeds up to 2500 MB/s - GIGABYTE M.2 SSD gives you faster data transferring experience compared to 2.5" SATA solid state drive. Host Memory Buffer (HMB) The Host Memory Buffer (HMB) feature utilizes the DMA (Direct Memory Access) of PCI Express to allow SSDs to use some of the DRAM on PC system, instead of requiring the SSD to bring its own DRAM. * HMB feature is only supported by Windows 10 & 11. Power Saving While Operating Comparing with regular PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD, GIGABYTE M.2 SSD reduces about 30% power while operating. Power consumption of the GIGABYTE M.2 SSD is notably improved. SSD Tool Box The newly updated SSD Tool Box is a software that gives users an overview of the SSD Status and various aspects such as model name, FW version, health condition and sensor temperature. Moreover, users can clear all the data with the Secure Erase function. You can download the SSD Tool Box from the link.
