GIGABYTE, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and other hardware solutions, has unveiled the AORUS Gen4 7000s Prem SSD. This high-performance drive boasts read speeds of up to 7GB/s and features optimized passive cooling to prevent thermal throttling during extended operation. Users can also monitor and manage the SSD’s performance with the included SSD Tool Box software.

AORUS Gen4 7000s Prem SSD

The AORUS Gen4 7000s Prem SSD utilizes the PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 interface and is equipped with the latest Phison E18 8-channel controller for optimized random access speeds. The drive also features 3D-TLC NAND Flash memory and a high-speed SLC cache to maximize the potential of the PCIe 4.0 interface. With read speeds reaching 7GB/s and write speeds up to 6.85GB/s, the AORUS Gen4 7000s Prem SSD provides a significant performance boost for content creators, gamers, and other users seeking high-performance storage solutions.

Advanced Thermal Design Prevents Throttling

This SSD is an excellent choice for users who value advanced thermal management. The M.2 Thermal Guard XTREME features a Nanocarbon coating, a high conductivity thermal pad, optimized heatsink height and surface area, and dual heat pipes. These design elements contribute to consistent and efficient cooling performance, even in environments with minimal airflow. In real-world testing, the AORUS Gen4 7000s Prem SSD maintained its maximum 7GB/s read speed over extended periods.

According to Jackson Hsu, Director of the GIGABYTE Channel Solutions Product Development Division, high-speed SSDs generate significant heat when operating at peak performance. Traditional thermal throttling acts as a safety feature to prevent data loss or damage to the memory chips and controller. While this throttling maintains stability and durability, it also impacts performance and reduces transfer speeds. The AORUS Gen4 7000s Prem SSD, however, uses a robust design and high-quality components to deliver maximum performance. Building upon the high thermal standards set by previous 7000 series SSDs, it provides exceptional performance even under heavy load. The advanced thermal solution effectively prevents thermal throttling, even without direct airflow, ensuring optimal system performance.

Compatibility and Availability

The AORUS Gen4 7000s Prem SSD is now available and compatible with all motherboards featuring a 2280 NVMe M.2 interface. To unlock its full potential and achieve read speeds of up to 7GB/s, GIGABYTE recommends using AMD X570/B550 or Intel Z590/B560/Z490/H470 motherboards with compatible next-generation Intel® Core™ processors.

Conclusion

The AORUS Gen4 7000s Prem SSD offers exceptional performance and advanced thermal management for demanding users. With its high read and write speeds, robust design, and innovative cooling solution, this SSD is an ideal choice for gamers, content creators, and anyone looking for a top-tier storage upgrade. Its compatibility with a wide range of motherboards makes it a versatile option for various system builds. If you’re seeking a high-performance SSD that can deliver sustained speeds without thermal throttling, the AORUS Gen4 7000s Prem SSD is worth considering.
