Upgrade to new flash memory with 1600 MT/s interface speed to break the performance limit of PCIe 4.0 NVMe.
AORUS, a gaming brand under GIGABYTE, recently announced the launch of AORUS Gen4 7300 series solid-state drives, which is improved on the basis of the existing AORUS Gen4 7000 drives, and the sequential access speed is increased to 7,300MB/s.
The previous representative high-performance product AORUS Gen4 7000s has sequential access up to 7,000 MB/s read and 6,850 MB/s write, and 4K random throughput of 650,000 IOPS read and 700,000 IOPS write.
AORUS Gen4 7300 uses Phison PS5018-E18 controller design solution, but replace it with TLC 3D NAND with 1600MT/s interface speed, which increases the sequential access speed of AORUS Gen4 7300 to 7300MB/s, but GIGABYTE has not yet publicly included 4K throughput Read More including volume.
Judging from the limited information, AORUS Gen4 7300 will provide mainstream capacity options of 1TB and 2TB. The sequential read speeds of the two are the same, and the write speeds are 6,000MB/s and 6,850MB/s, respectively. The 7000 is no different.
Under the terms of the 5-year limited warranty service, the design durability/write performance is 700 TBW and 1,400 TBW respectively, also unchanged. The similarities include heat dissipation. In addition to the standard M.2 Type 2280 version, there is also a version equipped with a heat dissipation module that emphasizes compatibility with PS5. Its design architecture seems to be continued from AORUS Gen4 7000s.
