The Inland Performance Plus is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2021. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Inland Performance Plus interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5018-E18-41 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Inland has installed 96-layer TLC NAND flash on the Performance Plus, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are soaked up more quickly. The cache is sized at 225 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 1800 MB/s. Copying data out of the SLC cache (folding) completes at 1000 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The Performance Plus is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,000 MB/s and 6,850 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 650K for reads and 700K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 400 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Inland guarantees an endurance rating of 1200 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
