A worthy choice for your PC upgrade
GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD adopts Phison’s controller and high-quality 3D NAND, delivers up to 2300 MB/s sequential read and 1500 MB/s sequential write performance. By utilizing Host Memory Buffer technology, the SSD controller can access the host DRAM without performance loss. Furthermore, GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD features TRIM, SMART, and Over-Provision support to secure your data and perform stably.

Host Memory Buffer (HMB)
The Host Memory Buffer (HMB) feature utilizes the DMA (Direct Memory Access) of PCI Express to allow SSDs to use some of the DRAM on PC system, instead of requiring the SSD to bring its own DRAM.

Power Saving While Operating
Comparing with regular PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD, GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD reduces about 40%+ power while operating. Power consumption of the GIGABYTE Gen3 2500E SSD is notably improved.

SSD Tool Box
The newly updated SSD Tool Box is a software that gives users an overview of the SSD Status and various aspects such as model name, FW version, health condition and sensor temperature. Moreover, users can clear all the data with the Secure Erase function. You can download the SSD Tool Box from the link.

Warranty
1. Limited 3 years or 120TBW.
2. Limited warranty based on 3 years or 120TBW, whichever comes first. (*TBW is evaluated by JEDEC workload standard. )
*TBW (Terabyte Written): Terabytes Written is the total amount of data that can be written into a SSD before it is likely to fail.
3. When the usage of an NVME SSD as indicated by the "Percentage Used" (SMART ID: 05) in SMART page of "GIGABYTE SSD toolbox" reaches 100 means out of warranty. (A new unused product will show the
