AORUS Gen4 SSD (GP-AG4500G) Make your PCs storage performance soar with GIGABYTEs PCIe 4.0 SSD. Built with the finest components, it brings insanely fast read and write speeds, plus the reliability and durability you can count on for years to come. World First PCIe 4.0x4 Controller The World First PCIe 4.0x4 Controller, Phison PS5016-E16 controller, made by 28nm manufacturing technology. The advanced fabrication process ensures PS5016-E16 has enough compute power for ECC processing when adopting the latest 3D TLC NAND flash. PS5016-E16 also features eight NAND channels with 32 CE targets, DDR4 DRAM caching, and a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. As for features, the chip supports the NVMe 1.3 protocol, LDPC error correction, and Wear Leveling, Over-Provision technologies to improve reliability and durability of SSDs. NAND Flash Selected for High Quality and Performance The selected and high-quality NAND Flash optimizes circuitry and architecture by increasing to 96 layers for higher storage space per unit area. 800MT/s throughput on the AORUS Gen 4 SSD far exceeds that of PCIe 3.0x4 devices for superior storage performance. Xtreme Storage Performance With the new PCIe 4.0 controller, AORUS Gen 4 SSD delivers blazing speeds: up to 5,000 MB/s for sequential read, and up to 2,500MB/s sequential write. Sequential Read performance of PCIe 4.0 SSDs is up to 40 faster than PCIe 3.0 SSDs. Get ready to enter the next generation of computing with faster and smoother, gaming, streaming, and graphics intensive rendering. 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.
