The Neo Forza NFP495 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in October 2023. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 4 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Neo Forza NFP495 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the TC2201 from TenaFE, a DRAM cache is not available. Neo Forza has installed 232-layer TLC NAND flash on the NFP495, 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 NFP495 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,500 MB/s and 6,500 MB/s write; random IO reaches 450K IOPS for read and 650K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Neo Forza guarantees an endurance rating of 1400 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
