256GB PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD

The GIGABYTE GP-GSM2NE3256GNTD is a 256GB M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive built for everyday desktop and laptop workloads. It uses a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3 to deliver sequential reads up to 1700 MBps and writes up to 1100 MBps. Random performance reaches 180000 IOPS read and 250000 IOPS write.

Fits M.2 2280 slots with PCIe 3.0 x4 wiring

The drive plugs directly into an M.2 2280 key-M slot wired for PCI-Express 3.0 x4, requiring no cables or drive bay. Host Memory Buffer support lets the controller borrow a small slice of system DRAM, removing the need for on-board DRAM cache. Power draw stays low at 1.9 mW idle, 2.6W average read and 2.4W write.

300 TBW endurance for light to moderate workloads

The 300 TBW rating and 1500000-hour MTBF provide headroom for operating systems, applications and frequent file transfers. Sustained workloads that exceed the write budget or push the controller near its 70°C operating limit will throttle performance. The drive operates from 0°C to 70°C and survives storage from -40°C to 85°C.

Highlights

  • Faster boot and app loading with up to 1700 MB/s sequential read

Questions about this item

How long before the 300 TBW endurance rating is reached under heavy daily writes?

The drive is rated for 300 TBW, so sustained heavy writing will reach that limit after roughly 300 terabytes of total data written.

What are the active power draw and operating temperature range when the SSD runs continuously?

Active read power averages 2.6W, write power 2.4W, and the operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C.

Does my motherboard need an M.2 2280 slot with PCIe 3.0 x4 and NVMe 1.3 support for this drive to work?

Yes, the drive requires an M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe 3.0 x4 and NVMe 1.3.
