The Netac N930e Pro is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on July 22nd, 2022. It is available in capacities ranging from 128 GB to 1 TB. This page reports specifications for the 128 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Netac N930e Pro interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the SM2263XT from Silicon Motion, a DRAM cache is not available. Netac has installed 128-layer TLC NAND flash on the N930e Pro, the flash chips are made by SK Hynix. Please note that this SSD is sold in multiple variants with different NAND flash or controller, which could affect performance, the "Notes" section at the end of this page has more info. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are handled more quickly. The N930e Pro is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 970 MB/s and 650 MB/s write; random IO reaches 100K IOPS for read and 130K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. Netac guarantees an endurance rating of 75 TBW, a good value.

Notes

Controller:

The difference between this and the non-XT revision (SM2263, SM2263G, SM2263ENG, etc.) is that this revision doesn't support the DRAM cache, in fact it uses HMB (Host Memory Buffer).

NAND Die:

Each die has 7 SGSs with 3 SGDs.
