CONCLUSION

   Neo Forza is certainly not among the very first names that come to mind when talking about SSDs but at least in regards to their ZION NFP075 2TB I have to admit that I was quite surprised with its performance. This of course is in comparison with similar models based on the Phison E12S NAND flash controller (and in some cases the same 3D TLC NAND by Toshiba) where the difference in performance is in some cases significant. Of course, I would had liked to see a bundled heatsink since temperatures do get quite high under stress but the same applies for over 90% of the models in the market today so it is what it is. Warranty is also something Neo Forza could improve on, yes 3 years is not a small period of time but compared to the 5 years offered by the competition it does feel like it is.

   Neo Forza just launched the 2TB variant of their ZION NFP075 M.2 NVMe SSD and so it’s not widely available yet, far from it really. Still based on the 1TB version I’d expect it to retail for no less than USD240/240Euros, a price tag which is pretty much what we’ve seen by similar models. At the end of the day the ZION NFP075 is among the fastest Phison E12S based PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 NVMe SSDs to reach the lab and for that it does deserve the Golden Award.
