GIGABYTEAORUS NVMe Gen4 M.2 1TB PCI-Express 4.0 Interface High Performance Gaming, 3D TLC NAND, External DDR Cache Buffer, SSD (GP-AG41TB)

Wow! Blazing fast and easy to install! Good grief, with the Prime Day deal, this was probably one of the best PC components deals I've ever gotten. Sort of regretting not having picked up two of them.Far as I'm concerned, M.2 is the way to go, and Gen4 is just a nice bonus. No more SATA (remember those IDE and SCSI cables of yore?) or any of the past hard drive form factors for me, and good riddance. I've never been a fan of the old spinning disc drives that have always been problematic for me.

This is great. It is about four years old. Never had an issue. A work horse! (Also very well built.)

Mounted right up, one tiny screw and it's done. It's 1TB, runs at 4x4, and just works. Great price for a 4x4 M.2.

Great performance drive! Just make sure you have a motherboard heatsink to put this drive under. If you don’t, you may want to buy a drive that comes with a heatsink.At first, I installed it without a heatsink on my bottom slot and the temps idled at 48c, jumping in the high 60s under load.Putting it under the motherboard’s heatsink reduced the temps to 32c idle, and high 40s under load, huge difference. Your exact temps may differ a bit, but you get the point.

These NVMe's are just as fast as those that may be considered top-of-the-line - i,e, Samsung, FireCuda, etc. but tend to cost a good percentage less. How this will matter with the new Samsung 990 Pro version that just came out will have to be determined. IMO we're at a point now where a 10% speed increase won't even be noticed like it was when we went from Gen 3 to Gen 4.

Great product speeds are excellent and would recommend for any moderate to high end pc build. Tricky to get recognized in windows but other than that works great.

It's Aorus. It's Fast AF.Ppl will say :oh an evo 970 is all u need, anything over rhat is not noticeable or necessary.1) if it was neither noticeable nor necessary, then they wouldn't make it.2) it's write and read speed are exponentially better than 970 and the 980 [not hating on EVO, just figure they are the most likely point of reference]3) faster read and write means large games load and process quickly and why would u jot want this for the same price as an 970?

I ordered this drive and an enclosure to use as an external drive for my Ps4 and I couldn't be happier with it. My load times for GTA 5 have been cut in half along with other games. Super fast and extremely portable. My only complaint is that I didn't get a bigger size and that's just because they are a little expensive but that's to be expected since they are new to the market. I'm definitely going to get another one in a TB once the prices come down a bit. Until then I'm going to enjoy my 46 sec load time on GTA 5 from start up.

Otimo produto recomendo

The media could not be loaded. Works well in PS5. In the video, I am moving multiple PS4 and PS5 games from the internal SSD to the m.2 drive. Moves 100gb+ in 1½ minutes. Loading in Spider-Man is as fast as when the game was on the PS5 internal SSD. No perceivable difference. Will update this review if anything notable happens. (Used $10 heatsink from Amazon, not sure if we're allowed to link here oh well)

Dentro de todas las opciones está es una de los mejores SSD Gen 4, Aorus siempre en sus productos maneja mucha calidad desde el empaque hasta los materiales este SSD en particular es buena opción si tu MB tiene enfriadores pasivos incluidos en caso de que no también funciona sin problemas, la velocidad de lectura es muy superior a un SSD Sata o las versiones anterirores de SSD de Aorus lo vas a notar en juegos, al iniciar Windows etc.

Met my expectations

This M2 SSD card fitted well and when installing Windows on it, took 40 seconds to do so. This was bought to go on my Gigabyte B550 Aourus elite V2 Motherboard. Wow. Great stuff.
