32gbps speed?
I remember having a 40GB HDD, so this looks like wizardry compared to that
First HDD i had was 500Mb (megabytes not Gigabytes)
@@TechforTechs You sir, have beaten me by at least 10-15 years in age :D
Finally, a little useful information (talking about temperature readings). It would be nice to compare SSDs with the same capacity. On documents Gigabyte is more durable than Samsung, but is it so? Has anyone tested this? 850TBW at Gigabyte and only 300TBW at Samsung with the same capacity. It would also be useful to test the coolers for them to see which ones are most effective and by how much they will reduce the temperatures because the M.2-type SSDs are hotter.
I just buy for 118€ the 1TB version with 2500MB/2100MB read/write.
does it really can reach those speeds ?
@@VIPDAKADO yes it can.
How is it holding up until now? I am considering to buy one now. 1TB version.
@@AzwadAbid it's holding pretty amazing, more than happy with you won't regret it if you buy one.
@@justsomegamer2285 Thanks mate! ^^
Which Controller has been used in this model?
Your ssd is SATA, it isnt Nvme, look his conectors, 2 pins are sata, one pin is nvme…
Can I put this SSD into Dell Inspiron 3593. Thanks in advance.
according to the manual the laptop support PCIe NVMe Gen3.0 x4 type drives, so this drive should work.
@@TechforTechs Thanks
its $91 where I live and im not sure if i should go for it, my current is only 256gb ssd
Will this for inside my eluktroniks MAG15??
From what i can see it does
Grabbed it for 87 buck 1TB version. Nice
can i ask why this gigabyte m.2 line up so cheap?
@@atvina7129 retailers has to buy these product from gigabyte to be able to get their hand on GPUs. So they had to lower the price to sell it faster.
Which is better? This one or the samsung 860 evo sata ssd
Can you install the 128gb version straight up to an m.2 ssd slot? My motherboard has a place called ultra m.2 ssd
you will need to find out if it supports SATA m.2 boards or NVMe based boards, if its supports NVMe then yes
I've only seen the 'Ultra' tag used on x4 m.2 slots. Not that its much help. Time to read the manual. If your not sure post the motherboard you have here (inc revision number if it has one). Do not post a link to it as uTube is funnie about things like that (external links). If i have a chance i will look at it for you.
Does the SSD Tool allow a Firmware Update and Is drive encryption supported?
It would have been really good to know which controller is used as there is absolutely no information available.
I'm really interested in buying the 1TB version, which seems to have 4 lanes of PCIe 3.0 but I still have doubts.
may I know which is faster? Gigabyte nvme PCie or Samsung 870 EVO 2.5 sata? thanks for response
In basics, the Gigabytes read speed is around 3 times faster than the 870 evo, and the write speed is around twice as fast. so yes the gigabyte NVMe is faster
@@TechforTechs thank you so much appreciate your help ❤️ stay safe bro
What's the background music?
Can someone confirm if this Will Work with MacBook pro 13” 2014? PCI 2.0 with 2 lanes. I have the adapter BTW. Have a friend selling for a steal.
Boot time?
o have same ssd and hd tune and windows mark 60mb/s to 120 mb/s.... malfuction? or standar? is lower speed for sata 3 ssd normal
that seems a little slow, either issue with drive or you have something else running while testing, if you have it as a boot drive it could be windows doing an update in background while you are testing
how to know what i am using in my pc?
Search for CPU-Z and download it as zip file. Doesn't need to be installed.
it says nvme but why does it have 2 notches?
This is not newer gigabyte pcie 3×4 nvme m2 ssd its 3x2 ..look...ssd has two openings vs nvme along with pcie 3.0....latest ones 2020 are pcie 4.0.
My Laptop Supports PCIe Gen 3x2 NVME by the specifications. My Question is, Can I use a PCIe Gen 3x4 SSD to my laptop? Will it run smoothly? I don't care about the speed of 3x4. I will be OK with this, if a 3x4 SSD provides me the minimum speed like 3x2 SSDs. There is very low number of Gen 3x2 SSDs are available in the market right now. So I want try a 3x4 SSD. *** Will it make any problem in my laptop???
no bro you cant. you could buy a x2 if you had x4 slot but you cannot set x4 in the place of x2. your motherboard will burn
@@smallville803 LOL
Wait hiw can i know what my laptop support can you tell me?????
I don't wanna burn my motherboard like the dude said
Will this work with athlon 3000g?
I find it very hard on Gigabytes site to see what type of NAND they use, they only list NAND not SLC, MLC TLC or QLC. I belive there 1Tb (non-Aorus) SSD is V-Nand (ie TLC or 3D), Its of intrest as at the time I am writing there V-Nand 1TB NVMe drive is £99 vs Intels QLC 1TB NVMe QLC drive at £89, the upgrade from the Intel for £10 seems worth it. IMO
Yes yes yes that's what I want to know
yup I searched a lot to find out What are they using , but there is no information shame
Samsung 980 vs gigabyte (this) ?
Can i put this SSD M2 in a laptop?, Acer Predator 15 g9-593
Without opening it up to make sure i wont guarantee it, but according to the Acer website you can install a M.2 SSD, community.acer.com/en/discussion/542879/what-m-2-is-compatbile-for-my-acer-predator-g9-593-71gl
I can't believe I spent almost double for an XPG Adata NVMe, and didn't even know this one... Wow...
Truest me its bad stopped working after just 10 months...
does it works for acer aspire 5 A515-52G laptop?
Is this fit with gigabyte x570 gaming x? If you replies thank you
It will work with that motherboard Thanks for watching
controller?
XPG SX8200 Pro M.2 2280 256GB PCIe NVMe Gen3x4 Internal Solid State Drive SSD 49.99
gigabthe 59.99
should I get this instead of Samsung M.2 Sata 256Gb?
If your motherboard take NVME drives then i would say yes
Does it have DRAM
nope
and it died in my rig after 10 months... replaced it with a 980pro from samsung now 1TB
This sad with aorus b450 pro is good ?
will work together well
Haha just got mine for 512GB. Loving loving loving.
Glad you like, thanks for watching
I got one since yesterday, do you thinfk its great?
Vs Xpg ?
Can i put this on a B450-Pro4 from ASRock
I put this on my asrock a320m -hdv. Works like charm
Real life benchmarks would have been more helpful
This is something we now do on new reviews, thanks for your constructive criticism
why is the Samsung PM961 faster than the nvme s?
because it is a NVMe?
Does it work with the mobo gigabyte a320m-s2h?
The mead supports NVMe Drives and that is what this is so it should do without an issue.
@@TechforTechs thanks a lot!
Isn't that M2 SATA? NVME is different
Defiantly NVMe, if its was SATA based it would top out at around 550Mbps
@@TechforTechs yeah, that's also important too.
can i put this ssd in asrock b365m phantom gaming 4 mobo??
Acording to AsRock your board has support for unto 2 drives, so as long as you are not using both slots already this will work.
@@TechforTechs thnx man
but gigabyte still prefer to place an intel SSD in their laptops
Thats economic's for you. They don't always make sense on face value.
Is it Nvme PCIe gen3x2 or m.2 ssd
The pin pattern on this is of m.2 ssd ??
Hi ankit i am also confused because pin pattern is like m2 sata rather than m2 nvme
If you go to Gigabyte.com and look there, it is listed as NVMe.
@@paulsim7589 , its slower than NVME . It is PCI express slot with SATA connectors
@@Pratz2005 it does look like dual keyed M.2 connector as it has both M & B keys rather than just the M key. However it IS an NVMe drive, as its speed of 1200Mb/s read and 800Mb/s write is far above what the SATA M.2 drives are able to deliver, as these are limited by the SATA protocall to 550Mb read/write.
Typicaly a SATA M.2 slot is keyed for 'B' type drives, and an NVMe is keyed for 'M' type drives, however some slots are keyed for both and some for one exclusively. It is down to the device and the drive if they support one or both types. In this case, maybe Gigabyte choose to use some PCB's that were lying around rather then make one that was M only. This drive ONLY supports NVMe.
PCI Gen 3.0 & 4.0 are the two common PCI standards (ie Speeds), both of these standards support both '2 PCI lanes' and '4 PCI lanes' which is part of the M.2 specifications, often written as x2 and x4, this is literally the number of PCI channels (or lanes) that the M.2 is connected to, need less to say that a x4 channel will have twice the potential bandwidth of x2, and four lane is backwards compatible with 2 lane. It should be noted that if the SSD does not exceed the bandwith of 2 lanes, having four is pointless much like having a very fast SSD NVMe drive that supports 4 when the motherboard only supports 2.
So lets look at how Gigabyte describes three of its drives:
D1. "256GB Gigabyte, M.2 (2280) PCIe 3.0 (x4) NVMe SSD, HMB, V-NAND, 1700MB/s Read, 1100MB/s Write, 250k/180k "
D2. "256GB Gigabyte AORUS RGB, M.2 (2280) PCIe 3.0 (x4) NVMe 1.3 SSD, Phison, 3D TLC, 3100MB/s Read,1050MB/s Write, 180k/240k"
D3. "1TB Gigabyte AORUS SSD, M.2 (2280) PCIe 4.0 (x4) NVMe SSD, 3D TLC, 5000MB/s Read, 4400MB/s Write, 750k/700k IOPS"
D?. 256GB Gigabyte M.2 (2280) PCIe 3.0 (?) NVMe SSD, Nand*, 1200MB/s Read, 800MB/s Write, 150k/80k IOPS.
I have labed the current Gigabyte drives D1 to D3, and the drive that was tested here as D?. Lets go though the way the are written.
[Size] [Brand + Name] [Interface (Physical Size)] [PCIe version] [number of PCIe lanes] [Protocall] [Type of Nand] [Write Speed] [Read Speed] [Write Operations per Second] [Read Operations per second].
So lets look at the SSD that was tested here "D?", its 256Gb, it made by Gigabyte uses the M.2 Interface and its 80mm long, it supports PCIe 3.0 standards, Gigabyte neglect to mention if it uses two lanes or four, however this is a mute point because it can not saturate even an x2 connection useing the NVMe protocall. Gigabyte have neglected to state why type of Nand flash was used but I would assume it is TLC (Tripple Layer Cell), its read performance and write performance are 1200MB/s & 800MB/s respectfuly followed by the read and write opperations it can carry out. Looking at the spec sheet from Gigabyte on this drive it looks like they have typed the numbers in the wrong way around, as typical IOP are higher for right than read (just like the number of MB/s it can do) so I have inverted them here from the spec sheet to read 150k/80k.
So a quick thing about PCIe lanes, a PCIe 3.0 (x2) has a maximum speed of 2GB/s, doubled for (x4) and its all doubled again for PCIe 4.0 (ie PCIe 4.0 x4 = upto 8GB/s). So in this case current Gigabyte SSD's ( numbers 1-3) are all x4, however only D2 and D3 need the x4 as D1 is too slow to benefit from it. In the case of D3 it is barly using even half the avalible bandwidth and we can look forward to even faster drives later on. (ammusingly all PCIe 3.0 x4 drives 'could' if they supported PCIe 4.0 run at the same speed on PCIe 4.0 x2.
[NVMe m.2 Drives are 'potentialy' faster than SATA m.2 drives because the NVMe drives use the PCI protocall which has a low overhead as it was always designed for high speed connection between the CPU and other chips on the motherboard, where as SATA was optomised for physical spinning disks and has lots of self imposed limits, thus the NVMe drive talks in PCIe's native protocalls where as SATA does not and needs translation/convertion. This results in NVMe drives being able to leaverage the full potential of the PCIe bus, and to have a lower latency whilst doing it in laymens terms]
In Summary: I think this was not a current Gigabyte drive, the current generic Gigabyte 256Gb NVMe SSD is D1. Thus I suspect this (D?) is old Gigabyte stock from who knows where.
Other things of note: Not all motherboards support direct PCIe lanes for M.2 drives from the CPU's PCIe lanes, often they come from the southbridge and thus have to also share the bandwidth with things like SATA drives and Audio cards, network/WiFi. Often in current consumer motherboards there is only one x4 lane directly from the CPU and any additional ones are via the Southbridge. In my case I have a shiny new AMD X570 board which uses PCI 4.0, so even with the fastest current drive (D3) which throws 5000MB/s around it is not enough to saturate the second M.2 x4 as the south bridge is connected back via PCIe 4.0 x4 it supports upto 8000MB/s so plenty spare for the Audio and a SATA HDD/SSD and networking. In general 'workstation' class motherboards have more PCIe lanes directly from the CPU and thus can support more full speed devices like multiple NVMe drives.
Also there are currently Four main types of Nand, this is SLC (Single Layer Cell), MLC (Multi Layer Cell... ie double layer), TLC (Tripple Layer Cell, also called 3D Nand & Vnand) & QLC (Quad Layer Cell). I have no idea what the hell Intel Optane Nand is, but is very expensive and fast. In general the less 'bits' each nand cell holds the faster and more reliable the Nand is, thus performance and reliability go from Single, double, tripple to quadruple and the wear level halfs at each change, thus QLC should be much cheaper than TLC but you need to mittigate some of the wear on the QLC Nand with large cache or it will perform relly poorly and wear out very fast. At the moment most people consider TLC to be the sweet spot on price/performance/reliability, where QLC is often relegated to a replacement for the old HDD that has your Steam libary. There are a lot of arguments and miss information around in this area however. Intel are one of the few who currently have 'gone big' on QLC, and for most OEM's these drives (although only a little cheaper) make sense, and I for one would welcome a QLC drive as my boot drive over a normal HDD or a tiny TLC drive.
I find it funnie that most uses would not notice the diffrence between a good 2.5" SATA SSD or a blazing fast PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe drive, as once you get to about 500MB/s for most users its deminishing returns.
Right enough typing. Night Night.
@@paulsim7589 So nicely summarised. Genius. Do you have a tech channel or what. Bro u must have one. Privilege to hear from someone with so depth . I have got this drive and will soon start using it. Plz do share your channel if u have one
Is it made in China?
Made in Taiwan 🇹🇼
Hey, why can't you produce a video without this irritating, high-volume background music, which suddenly pops up while one peacefully watching the video? This is quite irritating and objectionable. I hate all such video-makers who choose to blare such high-volume background music when the viewer least expects it. I hate it.
We can produce videos like that and we now do, this is our older video, our new videos only have music on the 10 second intro, thanks for your feedback
