The GIGABYTE 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD  The Gigabyte 512GB M.2 PCIe SSD uses the Host Memory Buffer (HMB) feature to use the Direct Memory Access (DMA) of PCI Express which allows the SSD to use some of the DRAM on your PC. This allows the SSD to not use its own DRAM. This increases the performance of your daily work by boosting the performance of your controller and NAND Flash. The Sequential reading speed of this SSD is Up to Up to 1550 MB/s and the writing speed is Up to 850 MB/s. You also get the facility of transferring your data faster compared to HDD. When we compare SSD to HDD we find that the SSD performs faster, consumes less power, has better Vibration Resistance, there is no sound when the SSD is working and the best feature of SSD is that the Heat management is very good. Gigabyte has launched an application, which is the SSD Tool Box, that helps users to monitor how their SSD is performing. The information that you might get are, the health condition of the SSD, the drive optimization and the temperature reading of the SSD. We are providing you with 3 years of warranty on the SSD.
