GIGABYTE Gen4 4000E 500 GB (G440E500G)

The GIGABYTE Gen4 4000E is an M.2 2280 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. It is available in capacities from 500 GB to 2 TB. Maximum sequential read speeds reach 5000 MB/s, while write speeds reach up to 4500 MB/s depending on the model capacity. The drive supports TRIM and S.M.A.R.T. commands as well as wear-leveling functionality. Built-in SLC caching technology enhances write operation speeds. The mean time between failures (MTBF) is rated at 1.5 million hours. The GIGABYTE Gen4 4000E does not include a heatsink but features a thermal pad to improve heat dissipation during intensive use. Power consumption in read and write modes does not exceed 6 W, dropping to 30 mW in idle mode. The PCB thickness is 2.3 mm with a weight of approximately 7 grams. It is compatible with motherboards that support M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4, but can also operate in PCIe Gen3 mode at reduced speeds. It is designed for workstations, gaming systems, and laptops. The drive can be used as a boot drive and supports installation of all current operating systems, including Windows 11 and Linux.
