The Mega Electronics Fastro MS200 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor. It is available in capacities ranging from 512 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Mega Electronics Fastro MS200 interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the SM2262ENG from Silicon Motion, a DRAM cache chip is available. Mega Electronics Fastro has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the MS200, the flash chips are made by Micron. 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 absorbed more quickly. The MS200 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,400 MB/s and 3,000 MB/s write; random IO reaches 680K IOPS for read and 520K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 128 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Mega Electronics Fastro guarantees an endurance rating of 1200 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
