Product Overview
Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD is a high-end PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 1.4 solid state disk. It delivers a maximum 7000MB/s sequential read and 5500MB/s sequential write without throttling, thanks to its robust heat management.
Available in 1TB or 2TB capacities, the AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD uses Phison's PS5018-E18 PCIe 4.0 controller and 3D TLC NAND flash. They offer a combination of efficiency, speed, and security. The 3D TLC NAND flash runs at 1200MT/s, 50% faster than the previous generation. At the same time, PCIe 4.0 affords the SSD double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 SSDs.
To manage heat emission during consistent high loads, Gigabyte has endowed the AORUS Gen4 7000s SSD with a 7mm-hight heatsink and an aluminum M.2 baseplate.
