The Neo Forza NFP455 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2021. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 4 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Neo Forza NFP455 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the IG5236 (Rainier) from InnoGrit, a DRAM cache chip is available. Neo Forza has installed 128-layer TLC NAND flash on the NFP455, the flash chips are made by YMTC. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are processed more quickly. The cache is sized at 645 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 2050 MB/s. Copying data out of the SLC cache (folding) completes at 1000 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The NFP455 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s and 5,300 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 600K for reads and 900K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 295 USD. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Neo Forza guarantees an endurance rating of 1400 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.

YMTC 128L Xtacking 2.0 cell architecture consists of two decks connected through deck-interface buffer layer which is the same process with KIOXIA 112L BiCS 3D NAND structure. Cell size, CSL pitch, and 9-hole VC layouts keep the same design and dimension (horizontal/vertical WL and BL pitches) with previous 64L Xtacking 1.0 cell. Total number of gates is 141 (141T) including selectors and dummy WLs for the TLC operation.
This layout has a 1x 4 Plane layout, each one lineup side by side
