GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD

The GIGABYTE G325E1TB is an internal solid-state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface. The drive stores 1000GB on 3D NAND memory.

Suits budget builds needing fast NVMe 1.3 boot

This drive suits builders who want NVMe 1.3 speeds without paying for Gen4 hardware. It supports HMB, TRIM and S.M.A.R.T for efficient operation. Users needing sustained write performance above 1800 MB/s should look at higher-tier drives.

PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface

The single specification that decides fit is the PCI-Express 3.0 x4 link delivering up to 2400 MB/s sequential read and up to 1800 MB/s sequential write. Verify your motherboard has an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 2280 slot with PCI-Express 3.0 x4 to use this 1TB drive?

Yes, the G325E1TB requires an M.2 2280 slot wired for PCI-Express 3.0 x4.

Will this Gen3 2500E SSD work in a system that only supports PCI-Express 2.0?

It will function at PCI-Express 2.0 speeds, limited to roughly half the 2400 MB/s sequential read ceiling.

How can I verify the drive is delivering its rated 2400 MB/s read and 1800 MB/s write after installation?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark; sustained results near 2400 MB/s read and 1800 MB/s write confirm expected performance.
