The Netac NV5000-T is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on September 22nd, 2022. It is available in capacities ranging from 500 GB to 1 TB. This page reports specifications for the 1 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Netac NV5000-T interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the TC2200 Merak from TenaFE, a DRAM cache is not available. Netac has installed 128-layer TLC NAND flash on the NV5000-T, the flash chips are made by YMTC. 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 320 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 645 MB/s. Copying data out of the SLC cache (folding) completes at 484 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The NV5000-T is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 4,800 MB/s and 4,600 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 400K for reads and 530K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 87 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Netac guarantees an endurance rating of 640 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
