8TB Gigabyte AORUS PCI Express 4.0 x 16 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive by Gigabyte

Xtreme Storage Performance

With the world's first Gen4 controller and selected memory, AORUS Gen4 AIC 8TB SSD delivers blazing speeds: up to 15,000MB/s* for sequential read, and up to 15,000MB/s * for sequential write. The storage performance of AORUS Gen4 AIC 8TB SSDs is up to 3x faster than regular Gen4 SSDs in RAID. Furthermore, the advanced thermal design keeps the controller and memory at low temperatures, ensuring that Gen4 SSD performance won’t be compromised. Always keep performance at the highest levels. Get ready to enter the next generation of computing and enjoy faster and smoother graphics-intensive rendering and game streaming.

World First PCIe 4.0x4 Controller

The World's First PCIe 4.0x4 Controller, PHISON PS5016-E16 controller, made by 28nm manufacturing technology. The advanced fabrication process ensures PS5016-E16 has enough compute power for ECC processing when adopting the latest 3D TLC NAND flash. PS5016-E16 also features eight NAND channels with 32 CE targets, DDR4 DRAM caching, and a PCIe 4.0x4 interface. As for features, the chip supports the NVMe 1.3 protocol, LDPC error correction, Wear Leveling, and Over-Provision technologies to improve reliability and durability of SSDs.

NAND Flash Selected for High Quality and Performance

TOSHIBA BiCS4 96 Layers 3D TLC (800MT/s)
Toshiba BiCS4 NAND Flash optimizes circuitry and architecture by increasing to 96 layers for higher storage space per unit area. 800MT/s throughput on the AORUS NVMe Gen 4 SSD far exceeds that of PCIe 3.0x4 devices for superior storage performance.

Advanced Thermal Solution for Gen4 SSD

The thermal design is exclusively for high end Gen4 SSDs with its smart active and passive cooling. It prevents SSDs from thermal throttling and ensures stable operating. The working temperature is 30%* lower with the armor, copper heatsink and reactive fan.

Thermal Solution Designed for Gen4 SSD

Conducted Airflow and Pure Copper Heatsink
A large all copper heatsink touches the SSD’s hottest controller and transfers heat to the multi-cut copper heatsink. The blower fan helps to draw heat away more quickly, preventing thermal throttling on the SSD to maintain amazing speeds at all times.

Temperature Sensor and Fan Profile
- Built in with 8 temperature sensors to real time monitor AORUS Gen4 AIC 8TB SSD working temperature.
- In AORUS Storage Manager, it provides 3 fan operating modes for user to choose base on hardware configuration and workload. In the meantime, minimize fan noise and extend the fan's longevity. Silent, the quiet one, Balanced and full speed Performance modes.

AORUS Software Manager

AORUS Storage Manager is a dedicated software to detect and monitor multiple SSD status such as how many SSD is detected, enable Software RAID0 with a single click and select different fan mode base on different hardware configurations.
