Swissbit’s new A2000 PCIe Gen 4 SSD series is now available in M.2 2280 form factors with storage capacities of up to 4 TB. The industrial-grade storage platform targets high-performance setups such as edge AI, enterprise servers, and networking infrastructure. The company plans to expand the lineup with E1.S and U.2 form factors with capacities reaching 8 TB later this year.
The series uses an eight-channel DRAM-based controller architecture built on BiCS8 3D TLC NAND flash memory, which Swissbit packages in-house. Sequential read speeds top 6 GB/s, while sequential write speeds reach up to 5 GB/s. For random workloads, the drives deliver over 1 million read IOPS and up to 900,000 write IOPS.

Infrastructure designers can select between the standard A2000 model and the write-intensive A2200 model. The A2000 version supports up to 0.5 drive writes per day for mixed-use workloads, while the A2200 version uses enterprise-grade NAND to support more than one drive write per day over a five-year lifespan. Unlike consumer drives affected by fluctuating global storage costs, these components focus on hardware reliability and sustained throughput.
Security is managed via AES-256 hardware encryption, TCG Opal 2.0 support, and secure boot functionality. The SSDs also include hardware power-loss protection and lifetime health monitoring to prevent unexpected data corruption. Buyers can acquire the modules with or without pre-installed heatsinks through Swissbit’s official distribution networks.
