About This Product
The Gigabyte AORUS 512GB NVMe SSD offers PCIe x4 performance, suitable for general computing and gaming. While faster than SATA SSDs, its older generation NVMe technology may not match the sustained speeds of newer PCIe Gen4 drives. It provides a solid upgrade for systems still using SATA or older NVMe, offering improved boot times and application loading.
