The MiWhole CT200 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2022. It is available in capacities ranging from 512 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 1 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the MiWhole CT200 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the MAP1602A Falcon Lite from MaxioTech, a DRAM cache is not available. MiWhole has installed 128-layer TLC NAND flash on the CT200, the flash chips are made by YMTC. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The CT200 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s and 4,500 MB/s write.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 83 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. MiWhole guarantees an endurance rating of 1800 TBW, a good value.

YMTC 128L Xtacking 2.0 cell architecture consists of two decks connected through deck-interface buffer layer which is the same process with KIOXIA 112L BiCS 3D NAND structure. Cell size, CSL pitch, and 9-hole VC layouts keep the same design and dimension (horizontal/vertical WL and BL pitches) with previous 64L Xtacking 1.0 cell. Total number of gates is 141 (141T) including selectors and dummy WLs for the TLC operation.
This layout has a 1x 4 Plane layout, each one lineup side by side
