GIGABYTE announced their new NVMe architecture and PCIe 4.0 interface based M.2 SSD with full body copper heatsink; the Aorus NVMe Gen4 SSD.
The new M.2 SSD comes in 3 different capacity sizes; 500 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB. And it will come in 2280 module sizing, and supports the PCIe 4.0×4 M.2 interface. It uses an all new PCIe 4.0 controller with Toshiba Bisc4 Nand Flash memory particles. This provides up to 40% performance boost over PCIe 3.0, translating to unprecedented speeds.

The new SSD is equipped with a full copper heatsink and LAIRD high conductivity thermal pad which offers excellent heat dissipation. With its superior heat dissipation compared to SSDs with single side coverage, it can mitigate the heat generated at high temperatures when the SSD is in operation, which would also extend the lifespan of the product as well as bolster its performance.
“When the PCIe 4.0 specification was announced, GIGABYTE was already a step ahead in preparation for the development of the product. Through the smaller size and superior performance attributes of the NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 interface, performance seeking users will be able to unleash the best SSD performance ,”
Said Jackson Hsu, Director of the GIGABYTE Channel Solutions Product Development Division
“GIGABYTE AORUS NVMe Gen4 SSD further advances the standards set by our previous SSD products. The SSD fulfills many users’ expectations and users are getting better performance, a better thermal design, a GIGABYTE Ultra Durable certified product, and a nice selection of size capacities at 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB.”
Hsu added
The Gigabyte Aorus NVMe Gen4 M.2 SSD will be releasing soon and will be available to consumers. You can check out the official GIGABYTE website for more details.
