Gigastone Gen3 GP6320 500GB NVMe SSD

This 500GB internal SSD uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface and M.2 2280 form factor. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 2100 MBps and write speeds up to 1600 MBps. The drive targets gamers, graphic designers and IT professionals seeking a high-speed storage upgrade.

Check motherboard M.2 slot supports PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe

Verify your laptop or desktop has an M.2 2280 slot keyed for NVMe, not SATA. The drive uses PCIe 3.0 bandwidth so older PCIe 2.0 slots will limit performance. Ensure the system BIOS recognises NVMe boot devices before installation.

Built-in AES 128/256 encryption with TCG Opal 2.0

Hardware-based encryption secures data without software overhead. TCG Opal 2.0 compliance allows management through compatible security tools. 3D NAND with SLC cache and LDPC error correction maintain sustained speeds and data integrity during heavy workloads.

Questions about this item

Does the Gigastone Gen3 GP6320 500GB come with a heatsink or mounting screw, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare M.2 2280 module; no heatsink or mounting screw is included, so you will need to provide a screw and, if your laptop runs hot, an aftermarket heatsink.

Should I choose the 500GB model or a larger capacity such as 1TB, 2TB or 4TB for heavier workloads?

All capacities share the same PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and 2,100 MBps read / 1,600 MBps write limits, but larger drives offer higher TBW and more space for games or creative files.

What does the 2,100 MBps sequential read figure mean when the SSD is installed in my PC or laptop?

It is the peak throughput the controller can deliver over a PCIe Gen3 x4 link; real-world speeds depend on your motherboard slot, thermal conditions and file sizes, so sustained copies may be lower.
