Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 7300 AG4731TB 1 TB

Gigabyte was one of the first to actively introduce the fourth generation PCI-E interface into its drives. In May 2023, the Taiwanese brand released a fresh update of Aorus series SSDs with massive heat exchangers, PCI-e 4.0 support, built-in DRAM buffer and linear data transfer rates up to 7300 MB / s. The role of the brain in the Gigabyte AORUS Gen4 7300 is played by the eight-channel Phison E18 controller, which corresponds to the NVMe 1.4 protocol, uses a three-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory as the basis, and the volume of the built-in cache memory is 2 GB.

Due to the use of such a filling, the drive does not particularly suffer from speed drops when transferring large amounts of data, the controller behaves extremely adequately, and a massive heatsink negates any possibility of overheating and related performance problems. The only negative is that the heatsink turned out to be extremely dense and wide, so it is unlikely to fit into a thin 13-inch ultrabook.

According to the manufacturer, the 1TB drive provides sequential read and write speeds of up to 7300 and 6000 MB/s, respectively. This is a fairly high operational speed that can satisfy the requirements of most gamers, photographers, coders, designers and VFX specialists who need to record and transfer large amounts of data from one PC to another on a regular basis. The high level of performance is confirmed by the official five-year warranty from the manufacturer and an impressive resource for overwriting - 700 TB.
