RAID card with four 512 GB NVMe modules

The GIGABYTE AORUS RAID SSD combines four PCIe 3.0 512 GB NVMe modules on a single PCI Express card. An enterprise-class NVMe RAID controller manages the array, presenting 2 TB of total capacity. The Phison E12 controller and 3D TLC NAND target workloads that need sustained sequential throughput.

Advanced thermal solution and power profile

An advanced thermal solution covers the controller and NAND, keeping the drive within the 0 °C to 70 °C operating range. Active power averages 19 W for both reads and writes, while idle power sits at 7.5 W. The design draws power directly from the PCIe 3.0 x8 slot without external cables.

AORUS Storage Manager software

The bundled AORUS Storage Manager provides a dedicated interface for monitoring drive health, firmware updates and RAID configuration. It reports SMART attributes and the 1.77 million-hour MTBF rating, and helps manage the 700 TBW endurance limit per module. The utility runs on Windows and simplifies array maintenance.

Questions about this item

What physical slot does this PCIe 3.0 x8 card require?

It installs in any PCI Express 3.0 x8 or wider slot on the motherboard.

Does the built-in RAID controller need a specific driver or is it handled by the operating system?

The dedicated AORUS Storage Manager software manages the RAID array and monitoring under Windows.

How much power should the PSU provide for this card under load?

Active power draw reaches 19 W, so a standard desktop supply with a free 6-pin or 8-pin PCIe connector is sufficient.
