Cervoz Introduces T425 - a New M.2 2230 (A+E key) NVMe Gen3x2 SSD
The Power of Small: Evolution of Data Storage—since computers were built, making them smaller has never stopped. This is especially evident in the industrial sector, where compactness is highly valued. As a crucial component of computers, data storage has undergone a process of miniaturization as well, leading to the era of M.2 interface SSDs. While some ultra compact fanless PC and rugged mobile PC may adopt smaller embedded storage, such as eMMC (Embedded MultiMediaCard), they significantly lag behind M.2 PCIe SSDs in terms of performance. Therefore, M.2 PCIe SSDs have emerged as the superior choice for those seeking top-notch performance and efficiency in their computing experience.

There are a few problems with that naming:
1. NVMe does not have a gen/version 3, the highest is 2.0.
2. The number of lanes is not part of the generation of NVMe or PCIe.
Just say NVMe, PCIe Gen 3, 2 lanes. Don't get lazy and stupid.
Isn't it WAY late to release a PCIe gen 3 device in 2023?
With 2 lanes this will have very low speed.Maybe that was impressive 10 years ago. :laugh: :roll:
"leveraging the pcie signals further enhances system performance" as if ALL other nvme drives use something other than the pcie interface.....BS #2
"impressive sequential speeds of up to 815 MB/s read and 760 MB/s write".... hello Cervoz, this is 2013 calling, and we want ALL our slow-assed, antiquated drives back, like, last week, hehehe :)
Better be dirt cheap. Otherwise WD has SN770M standard M-Key 2TB Gen4 with 4 lanes doing 5GB/s.
But its also worth noting that if this is designed to replace a wifi nic on deployed equipment that may not need wifi those little A/E NGFF wifi card slots are typically fed by pcie 3.0 lanes from the chipset rather than 4.0 or 5.0 lanes right off the cpu. Intels current z790 boards only offer pcie 3.0 lanes to the wifi slot, and it seems to be 1x or 2x lanes of bandwith they get. AMD seems to offer the same in their x670. At 2x lanes of pcie 3.0 you'll still get better than sata ssd performance.
This would be a great way to boot something like a freenas or unraid storage server. Boot off this and you can spend all your high speed m.2 slots on caching for the hard drives in the sata ports...and all your expansion slots folding for TPU lol
I would have used this for DIY NAS builds, as those do not need wifi and I took out the dreaded WIFI cards that often are buggy in Linux and many boards do not have an option to disable that port...
I have a riser from A.E to normal M.2. I placed the drive across the IO modules and it fits perfectly. There are boards selling without wifi at all and the slot is present, IMHO BIOSTAR had it, why not? Spare two PCIe lines, put a storage in it.
This thing just a lazy way, for the price of limited space you can have, with riser you can go cheaper and larger if you can fit it properly somewhere in the case.
