INTRODUCTION

   PCIe Gen 5 M.2 NVMe SSDs may already be on the way but the fact of the matter is that most people don't even have M.2 NVMe compatible motherboards, let alone PCIe Gen 4 ones. This means that the most popular M.2 NVMe SSDs right now are PCIe Gen 3 ones (3x4) and that's also why as of now most manufacturers have very few PCIe Gen 4 models in their product lines (some still have none). With a rather small chunk of the consumer market already onboard the PCIe Gen 4 train with AMD's X570 and Intel's Z590 motherboards (even some Z490 ones) M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen 4x4 models will probably be the next best thing long before PCIe Gen 5x4 ones. For now, however PCIe Gen 3x4 M.2 NVMe SSDs are driving the consumer market and today with me i have the top of the line model currently by Neo Forza, the ZION NFP075 2TB.

   We are a professional team, studying in computer memory and storage devices industry for more than 10 years. In order to meet the rising demand on speed and capacity of the high-end gaming market players, we created Neo Forza, a new generation of ultra-standard overclocking module, SSD and other related storage device designing brand. Neo represents from virtual to reality, showing our core value for product innovation. Forza shows our strength and determination to meet gamers every need. Neo Forza possess strong resources, focus on core technology. From research & design, specific production to exceed the testing benchmark; Neo Forza keep pushing over technical boundary, providing top-notch performance and quality, providing gamers / game players extraordinary using experience.

   The ZION NFP075 line of M.2 NVMe SSDs by Neo Forza (currently available in 256GB/512GB/1TB/2TB capacities) is based on the highly popular E12S high performance NAND flash controller by Phison (PS5012-E12S / Gen3x4 NVMe 1.3 interface) together with 96-Layer BiCS4 3D TLC NAND flash by Toshiba and a single 512MB DDR3L SDRAM module by UniIC Semiconductors. This combination allows the ZION NFP075 to reach 3400MB/s and 3000MB/s in reads and writes respectively and even though these are not numbers we haven't seen many times in the past they should easily cover the majority of consumers out there (with ease). The Phison PS5012-E12S controller used in this M.2 NVMe SSD features a total of eight NAND channels with 32 CE targets, supports up to 8TB of NAND, is Toggle 3.0 & ONFi 4.0 compliant and packs several technologies aimed at both high performance and reliability including StrongECC, SmartRefresh, SmartFlush, end-to-end data protection, thermal monitoring, AES-256 encryption, SLC caching and TCG Pyrite/OPAL support. As for endurance Neo Forza reports an MTTF (mean time to failure) of 1.8 million hours and TBW of 420 for the 256GB, 890 for the 512GB model, 1350 for the 1TB model and 1550 for the 2TB model and covers the entire line with a 3-year limited warranty.
