The Nextorage NE5N Series (w/ Heatsink) is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched on May 8th, 2023. 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 Nextorage NE5N Series (w/ Heatsink) interfaces using a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5026-E26 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Nextorage has installed 232-layer TLC NAND flash on the NE5N Series (w/ Heatsink), the flash chips are made by Micron. 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 5.0 interface, performance is excellent. The NE5N Series (w/ Heatsink) is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s and 10,000 MB/s write; random IO reaches 1400K IOPS for read and 1400K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 500 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Nextorage guarantees an endurance rating of 1400 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
