SSD M.2 2 TB GIGABYTE AORUS Gen4 7000E — PCIe 4.0 NVMe, 7100/6500 MB/s

The GIGABYTE AORUS Gen4 7000E is an M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD with 2 TB capacity designed for high-performance PC storage. It pairs a high-quality controller with selected 3D TLC NAND to deliver up to 7,100 MB/s sequential read and up to 6,500 MB/s sequential write. The drive supports Host Memory Buffer (HMB) to utilize host DRAM for improved responsiveness and includes firmware features such as TRIM, S.M.A.R.T. and over-provisioning to enhance reliability and endurance. The SSD is compatible with GIGABYTE software tools, including GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER and SSD Tool Box, for monitoring, firmware updates and secure erase functions.

Advantages

The combination of a high-performance controller and selected high-speed 3D TLC NAND provides sustained high throughput while firmware optimizations and support for HMB reduce latency and improve overall system responsiveness. PCIe 4.0 interface enables significantly faster sequential read/write speeds compared with PCIe 3.0, and software tools allow easy monitoring of health, firmware updates and secure data erase.

Suitable for

• High-performance gaming PCs requiring fast load and texture streaming
• Content creation workflows such as video editing and large file handling
• System drive for OS and applications to reduce boot and application load times
• Power users who need high sequential read/write throughput
