CONCLUSION

   When I finished testing the NFP445 1TB PCIe 4.0 Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD by Neo Forza just one thought came to mind, why? You see at first the low performance of the drive (for a Gen4 model) made it initially really hard for me to justify its existence. This is clearly the slowest PCIe 4.0 Gen4 SSD in my charts but aside being the problem it's performance is also the answer to my question. So even though this is the slowest Gen4 drive it’s still slightly faster compared to even some of the best Gen3 models so in a way it does make sense to release one such model, at least as long as the price is right.

   With a very tempting MSRP which as far as I can tell is currently set at around USD100 the sole issue left for potential buyers is to actually find the NFP445 1TB and at least for now that doesn’t seem to be possible. Still if you’re looking for a budget-friendly 1TB Gen4 SSD, you’re not in a hurry and you’re fine with its performance levels then I certainly do recommend waiting until it becomes available somewhere near you.
