When you think SSDs there are some big names that come to mind such as Samsung, Crucial, Patriot and Kingston. These companies have been doing storage for many years because, that is what they do. Gigabyte on the other hand is not a primary memory manufacturer but has built storage solutions in the past including the popular overclocking tool the Gigabyte i-RAM. Granted it was a hardware based ramdisk but still, notably fast.

In this review I’ll be looking at a new SSD from Gigabyte called the UD PRO. This drive is a standard SATA 6 drive and is available in two sizes, 256GB and 512GB. You’ll be spending about $120USD for the 512GB model and around $69USD for the smaller one.
