Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme Gen4 AIC Up to 32TB SSD at 28GB/s Access Speed Through RAID Configuration

Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. announced the Aorus Xtreme Gen4 AIC SSD with 28GB/s access speed.

This capacity and performance SSD builds in eight 4TB 2nd gen PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSDs with Phison PS5018-E18 controller, Aorus Xtreme Gen4 AIC SSD offers high transfer bandwidth and access performance through RAID configuration. It features thermal design with large aluminum finned heatsink, M.2 baseplate for passive cooling, 10 temperature sensors and active dual-fan heat dissipation design, while the SSD Tool Box offers users real-time status and temperature monitoring of SSDs. Aorus Storage Manager allows users to configure a RAID array with a single click and 3-phase fan speed adjustment, which enabling Aorus Xtreme Gen4 AIC SSD to keep cool and performing at a high level. It promises a non-throttling experience for users who ph, for high capacity and breakthrough performance.

“With advancements in both hardware and flash memory, the SSD performance jump up to a new level, however there is still a gap from the uppermost 32GB/s transmission bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 x16,” said Jackson Hsu, director, channel solutions product development division. “Gigabyte has played a leading role in the development and production of PCIe 4.0 SSDs. After the recent launch of Aorus Gen4 7000s Prem. SSD, Gigabyte has further released Aorus Xtreme Gn4 AIC SSD to approach the maximum PCI 4.0 bandwidth with 28GB/s transfer speed. The dual fan thermal design enables optimized performance under low temperature, while the large capacity of 32TB allows users to store more data and reduce the risk of insufficient storage space.“

Aorus Xtreme Gen4 AIC SSD features quality, hairline brushed baseplate with a curved edge design of the outlook, and Integrates 8 sets of 4TB Aorus Gen4 7000s level SSDs with Phison PS5018-E18 controllers. By the RAID configuration, it provides a large capacity of up to 32TB, and also increases the sequential read speed to 28GB/s, which surpass the Aorus Gen4 7000s SSD up to 4x speed.

In order to avoid the throttling by overheating under high-speed operation and even data damage or loss, Aorus Xtreme Gen4 AIC SSD is designed with large aluminum finned heatsink, M.2 baseplate, and giant thermal back plate to effectively dissipate the heat generated by the SSD in high-speed operation. Meanwhile the system air flow, the large air volume of the dual fans, and the thermal vent on the baffle plate create active heat dissipation to promise high performance of the SSD under high speed operation without throttling.
