Gigabyte Aorus RGB AIC NVMe SSD, PCIe 3.0 x4 - 512 GB [GP-ASACNE2512GTTDR]

The reason for this is not least the technology used, which was installed in this NVMe memory with 1 TB, including high-quality 3D NAND flash, which guarantees a TBW of a whopping 1,600 terabytes. The expansive heat sink with RGB lighting also ensures this. Overall, Gigabyte brings fast and reliable NVMe storage for those who do not have free M.2 space but do have an available PCIe 3.0 x4 slot.

The features of the Gigabyte Aorus RGB NVMe AIC SSD 512 GB at a glance:
- Modern NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD as add-in card with NVMe 1.3
- Including heat sink with RGB lighting
- Storage capacity of 512 gigabytes of 3D TLC NAND memory from Toshiba & 512 MB DDR3 cache
- Maximum read speed of 3,480 MB / s and write speed of 2,100 MB / s
- Maximum IOPS reading: 360K and writing: 510K
- MTBF: 1.8 million hours, manufacturer warranty: 5 years or 800 TBW (TB Written)
- NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD with fast read and write speed

This fast drive supports four PCI Express 3.0 lanes. In conjunction with the built-in 3D NAND flash, this 512 GB variant of the NVMe SSD from Gigabyte achieves fast 3,480 MB / s when reading and 2,100 MB / s when writing, as well as IOPS values of 360,000 in 4KB read and 530,000 in 4KB -Write.
Highly efficient NAND with a long service life
The NVMe SSD memory is reliable and compact 3D NAND flash. On the one hand, this enables larger amounts of memory with higher read and write speeds with a smaller area of the memory blocks, and on the other hand increases the lifespan of the memory and improves energy efficiency. This is also ensured by the huge heat spreader including stylish RGB lighting.

The NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD supports the latest NVMe 1.3 protocol, LDPC error correction, wear leveling and over-provisioning to increase the lifespan. Gigabyte can thus guarantee an MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) of at least 1.8 million hours and offer a guarantee of 5 years or 800 TBW.
