GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E 500GB SSD is a solid-state drive (SSD) that delivers excellent performance for users looking for a reliable storage solution. It features an M.2 2280 form factor, which is widely compatible with modern desktops and laptops, especially those that support NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drives. This SSD leverages a PCIe 3.0x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 protocol, offering significantly faster data transfer speeds compared to traditional SATA-based SSDs, making it ideal for everyday computing, gaming, and content creation. In terms of storage capacity, the GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E provides 500GB of space, which is suitable for a variety of applications, such as storing operating systems, frequently accessed applications, and media files. The SSD’s sequential read speeds reach up to 2300 MB/s, while sequential write speeds hit up to 1500 MB/s, providing quick boot times and fast file transfers. For tasks that involve random data access, the drive delivers up to 60K IOPS for random reads and up to 240K IOPS for random writes, ensuring smooth performance for multitasking and intensive workloads. One of the notable features of this SSD is its high mean time between failure (MTBF) rating, which is 1.5 million hours. This rating indicates a long lifespan, ensuring that the drive will continue to perform reliably for years under normal usage. The operating temperature range is also wide, from 0°C to 70°C, which allows the drive to function well even in moderately warm environments. Additionally, the storage temperature range of -40°C to 85°C provides robust durability when the drive is not in use.
