FAQs
What is PCIe 4.0 and why does it matter?
PCIe 4.0 (Gen 4) provides double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0, enabling much faster data transfer speeds. The Gigabyte Gen4 4000E can deliver up to 3600MB/s read speeds by utilising this higher bandwidth, making it significantly faster than older SATA or PCIe 3.0 drives.
Is this drive compatible with my system?
The Gen4 4000E uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and requires an M.2 slot on your motherboard. It works with any system that has an available M.2 NVMe slot. For fastest performance, your system should support PCIe 4.0, though it will work in PCIe 3.0 slots at reduced speeds.
What does the 300TBW warranty mean?
TBW (Terabytes Written) is the total amount of data that can be written to the drive before it may fail. The 3-year limited warranty covers 300TBW, whichever limit is reached first. For most users, the 3-year time limit will be the limiting factor.
How much power does this SSD consume?
The Gen4 4000E is very efficient, consuming just 40mW in idle mode and 5mW in sleep mode. During active read/write operations, peak power consumption reaches 4300mW (read) and 4400mW (write), but most workloads use significantly less.
Can I use this drive in a laptop?
Yes, the M.2 2280 form factor is standard in most modern laptops. However, check your laptop's manual to confirm it has an available M.2 NVMe slot and supports PCIe 4.0 for optimal performance.
What is MTBF and what does 1.5 million hours mean?
MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) is an estimated reliability metric. 1.5 million hours equates to approximately 171 years of continuous operation, indicating excellent expected drive lifespan under normal usage conditions.
Is this SSD suitable for gaming?
Yes, the Gen4 4000E is ideal for gaming. Its 3600MB/s read speed dramatically reduces game loading times and improves system responsiveness. The 500GB capacity is suitable for OS and several AAA titles, or can serve as a secondary drive in multi-drive systems.
