GIGABYTE GP-GSM2NE3512GNTD 512GB M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe internal SSD

SKU CH-XMNK-7TSFQ MPN GP-GSM2NE3512GNTD

512 GB M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD with sequential speeds up to 1700 MB/s read and 1550 MB/s write, 800 TBW endurance and HMB support

  • Total capacity512 GB
  • Sequential read speedUp to 1,700 MB/s
  • Sequential write speedUp to 1,550 MB/s
  • Interface typePCI-Express 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3
  • Form factorM.2 2280
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Capacity 512GB

  • Fast boot and app loading with up to 1700 MB/s sequential read
  • Responsive multitasking from up to 1550 MB/s sequential write
  • Snappy small-file performance via 270000 random read IOPS and 340000 random write IOPS
  • Lower system power draw at 1.8 mW idle and 2.8–3.3 W active
  • Fits modern laptops and desktops in M.2 2280 form factor

Capacity and interface

This 512GB drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor with a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection and NVMe 1.3 protocol. It is built for everyday desktop and laptop workloads such as system boot, application loading and multitasking.

Performance headroom

Sequential reads reach up to 1700 MBps and writes up to 1550 MBps, while random 4KB performance hits 270,000 IOPS read and 340,000 IOPS write. The 800TBW endurance rating and 1,500,000 hour MTBF cover typical consumer use; sustained heavy write workloads will exhaust the write budget sooner.

Deciding specification

The PCI-Express 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface determines whether this drive fits your system; it requires an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe and will not work in SATA-only or PCIe 2.0 slots.

Questions about this item

Will the GP-GSM2NE3512GNTD work in a laptop that only has a PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slot?

Yes, the drive uses the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 interface and the standard M.2 2280 form factor, so it will install and run in any slot wired for that specification.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the rated 1700 MB/s read and 1550 MB/s write speeds after installation?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark; the results should approach the stated 1700 MB/s read and 1550 MB/s write figures when the drive is measured on a PCIe 3.0 x4 link.

Does the GP-GSM2NE3512GNTD package include a heatsink or mounting screw, or must I source them separately?

The drive ships as a bare M.2 2280 module; a motherboard mounting screw and any optional heatsink are not included and must be obtained separately.
