Top specs

  • 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.

  • 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.

Description

Description

The World's First PCIe 4.0x4 Controller, Phison PS5016-E16 controller, built with 28nm manufacturing technology. The advanced manufacturing process ensures that the PS5016-E16 has enough computational power for ECC processing when adopting the latest 3D TLC NAND flash.

The PS5016-E16 also features eight NAND channels. As for the features, the chip supports the NVMe 1.3 protocol, LDPC error correction, and Wear Leveling, Over-Provision technologies to improve the reliability and durability of SSDs.

NAND Flash

Selected for high quality and performance

The selected and high-quality NAND Flash optimizes the circuits and architecture, increasing to 96 layers for greater storage space per unit area. The 800 MT/s performance 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, the AORUS Gen 4 SSD offers incredible speeds: up to 5,000 MB/s for sequential read and up to 2,500 MB/s for sequential write. The 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 computers with faster and smoother performance, intensive gaming performance, streaming, and graphics.

SSD Tool Box

The recently updated SSD Tool Box is a software that provides users with an overview of the SSD's status and various aspects such as model name, FW version, health status, and sensor temperature. Additionally, users can securely erase all data with the Secure Erase function.

Capacity
500 GB

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

NVMe
Yes

NVMe

Communication template that enhances the performance and speed of SSDs.

The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for simple everyday use.
Heatsink
No

Heatsink

The SSD is equipped with a heatsink to maintain low temperatures, ensuring better performance and more efficient heat dissipation in the SSD.

Write Endurance (TBW)

Shows the total amount of data (in TB) that the SSD can write over its lifetime, according to the manufacturer’s specifications. A higher value means greater theoretical endurance for frequent data writes.

NAND Flash Type

The type of flash memory used by the SSD. It affects the drive's durability, performance, and cost.

Dimensions

Form Factor
M.2 (Type 2280)

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2280)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows them even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.

Maximum 4KB Random Write
550000 IOPS

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    Untroubled and very fast disk for any use. Its price is very good and you get a product with a big name in the gaming industry. It works at low temperatures and is a very good solution for someone who wants gen4. I also have the Samsung 980 pro and I can say that if I had bought this one from the beginning with the 500gb, I would have been equally satisfied. It will cover your needs and more. I bought it for 60€, the same price as the Samsung 250gb, but here I have 500gb and it is equally capable.

    All the money really the hard bravo to gigabyte but do not expect with a samsung 980 to have a greater difference, because I searched for it at these speeds that the hard drives have, you never see a big difference from one to another only from gen3 to gen4
