GIGABYTE Gen4 4000E 250 GB (G440E250G)

The GIGABYTE Gen4 4000E is an M.2 2280 form factor solid-state drive that uses the PCI Express 4.0 x4 interface and NVMe 1.4 protocol. The drive features 3D NAND TLC flash memory and is designed for systems that support PCIe Gen4 storage devices. The GIGABYTE Gen4 4000E is available in capacities ranging from 500 GB to 2 TB. Maximum sequential read speed reaches 5000 MB/s, while write speed reaches up to 4500 MB/s depending on the model capacity. The drive supports TRIM commands, S.M.A.R.T., and wear leveling functionality. Built-in SLC caching technology increases write operation speeds. The mean time between failures (MTBF) is rated at 1.5 million hours. The GIGABYTE Gen4 4000E does not feature a heatspreader but includes a thermal pad for improved heat dissipation during intensive operations. Power consumption during read and write modes does not exceed 6 W, and drops to 30 mW in idle mode. The drive measures 2.3 mm in thickness and weighs approximately 7 grams. It is compatible with motherboards that support M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 slots and also operates in PCIe Gen3 mode with reduced speeds. The drive is designed for workstations, gaming systems, and laptops. The GIGABYTE Gen4 4000E can be used as a boot drive and supports installation of current operating systems, including Windows 11 and Linux.
