GIGABYTE AORUS GP-ASM2NE6100TTTD 1TB M.2 2280 internal SSD

AORUS Gen4 NVMe SSD for gaming and content creation

The GIGABYTE AORUS GP-ASM2NE6100TTTD is a 1TB M.2 2280 internal solid state drive built for consumer workloads. It connects through a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface using the NVMe 1.3 protocol. A Phison PS5016-E16 controller made on a 28nm process manages eight NAND channels with 32 CE targets. A 1GB DDR4 DRAM cache assists with sustained throughput.

Sequential speeds of 5000 MBps read

The headline specification is the rated sequential performance: up to 5000 MBps read and up to 4400 MBps write. Random 4KB performance reaches 750,000 IOPS read and 700,000 IOPS write. Toshiba BiCS4 96-layer 3D TLC flash operating at 800 MT/s provides the storage medium. A full-body copper heat spreader covers the controller and NAND to manage thermals under load.

Suits builds with a PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot needing high

This drive suits enthusiasts who want Gen4 NVMe speeds and a robust heatsink in a standard M.2 2280 form factor. The 1.77 million hour MTBF and wear-leveling with over-provisioning support long-term reliability. Systems limited to PCIe 3.0 will not reach the rated sequential figures. Buyers needing higher capacity or a different controller architecture should evaluate other models.
