It’s a pretty standard looking M.2 drive really, calling into the now common 10800 form factor, meaning it’s 80mm long. That makes it compatible with just about everything, as this drive size is almost universal now.
The drive is nicely laid out, and again, there are no real surprises with the design. This is a 2TB model too, so both sides of the PCB are packed with chips, rather than just a single side as you may find on lower capacity models.
It’s powered by the Phison E18 controller, which uses NVMe 1.4 and a DDR4 DRAM cache.
The storage comes from the TLC NAND flash, which uses the latest 96-layer design. There are four 256GB chips on each side of the PCB to give us the 2TB total.
The DRAM is the SKHynix 8GB DDR4 chip, which should provide a nice performance lift for the Phison controller.
So it seems the drive is using pretty much the best consumer chipsets on the market today, so with the latest PCIe 4.0 interface, you can expect read and write speeds of over 7000 Mbps.
