AORUS 1TB GEN4 7300 SSD (Without Heatsink)

The Gigabyte AORUS 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD (Without Heatsink) is a high-performance internal solid-state drive designed for builders and enthusiasts who demand fast sequential transfer speeds from a compact M.2 form factor. Built on the PCIe 4.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.4 protocol, this drive takes full advantage of fourth-generation bandwidth to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7300 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 6000 MB/s, making it well suited for demanding workloads such as large file transfers, game loading, video editing, and OS boot times. The drive incorporates a DDR4 DRAM cache, which helps sustain consistent performance under mixed workloads by buffering frequently accessed data and reducing latency during intensive read/write cycles. The controller architecture features 8 channels with 32 chip enables (8 CH / 32 CEs), a configuration that supports wide parallelism across the NAND array and contributes to the drive's high sustained throughput figures. Support for SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) enables real-time health monitoring through compatible system utilities, giving users early warning of potential drive issues. TRIM support ensures the operating system can communicate with the SSD to maintain long-term write performance by proactively freeing unused blocks. This variant ships without a heatsink, making it a flexible choice for systems that already include an M.2 thermal solution on the motherboard — such as Gigabyte AORUS or Eagle series motherboards — or for builders who prefer to manage thermals independently.
