About This Product
The Gigabyte Gen3 2500E is a 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD utilizing a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. It offers sequential read speeds up to 2500 MB/s and write speeds up to 2000 MB/s, which is typical for entry-level PCIe Gen3 drives. This drive is suitable for general computing and light gaming, providing a noticeable upgrade over SATA SSDs but falling behind newer PCIe Gen4 and Gen5 options in raw throughput.
Verdict
“Good for budget builds or as a secondary drive where high-end performance isn't critical.”
