GIGABYTE AORUS Gen4 7300 2 TB M.2 PCI Express 4.0 NVMe 3D TLC NAND

AORUS Gen4 7300 SSD is an M.2 NVMe drive that uses a Phison E18 8-channel controller and high-speed 3D TLC NAND to deliver PCIe 4.0 throughput with sequential read speeds up to 7.3 GB/s and sequential write speeds up to 6.85 GB/s. The drive supports DDR4 SLC caching, NVMe 1.4 protocol compliance and is designed for high-performance tasks such as gaming, streaming and graphics rendering.

Advantages

The SSD combines a 12nm Phison E18 controller and selected 3D TLC NAND running at 1600+ MT/s to provide significantly higher performance than previous generations. PCIe 4.0 interface doubles sequential read performance compared with PCIe 3.0, enabling faster data transfer, reduced loading times and improved responsiveness for demanding workloads. The product also supports DDR4 SLC caching for improved write performance and system compatibility with NVMe 1.4.

How to use

Install the AORUS Gen4 7300 SSD into an M.2 PCIe 4.0 slot on a compatible motherboard following the motherboard manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure the system BIOS/UEFI and operating system support NVMe drives and PCIe 4.0. After physical installation, initialize and format the drive in the operating system, then install the GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER (GCC) if you wish to monitor drive status, update firmware and adjust settings.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the SSD in a PCIe 4.0 compatible slot and enable any motherboard settings that maximize NVMe throughput. Keep firmware and GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER updated. For sustained heavy workloads, ensure adequate cooling for the M.2 slot to maintain consistent speeds.
