Know before you buy
Yes, the Hydro X Series water block is designed to be integrated into a custom cooling loop. Because PCIe Gen5 drives generate significant heat, you must connect this to your liquid cooling system to maintain optimal performance and prevent thermal throttling.
This drive requires a motherboard with an M.2 slot that supports PCIe Gen5 x4. While it is physically compatible with standard M.2 2280 slots, you will only achieve the advertised speeds if your motherboard and CPU platform fully support the PCIe 5.0 interface.
NVMe 2.0 provides improved command sets for better drive management and efficiency. Microsoft DirectStorage allows the SSD to communicate directly with your graphics card, which drastically reduces game load times and improves asset streaming in compatible titles.
Absolutely. With 4TB of capacity, high-density 3D TLC NAND, and a 3000 TBW endurance rating, this drive is built to handle intensive tasks like 4K video editing, large file transfers, and high-performance computing alongside gaming.
Yes, the drive features integrated AES 256-bit hardware encryption. This allows you to secure your data at the drive level without relying solely on software-based solutions, which can impact system performance.
