The Gigabyte AI TOP 100E is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in June 2024. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Gigabyte AI TOP 100E interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5018-E18-41 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Gigabyte has installed 112-layer pSLC NAND flash on the AI TOP 100E, the flash chips are made by Kioxia. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The AI TOP 100E is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and 5,900 MB/s write.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Gigabyte guarantees an endurance rating of 219000 TBW, an extremely high value, making this drive fit for demanding enterprise applications.
