Apacer today introduced the PE4430-R, a compact M.2 NVMe SSD in the M.2-2230 form-factor, which makes it suitable for handheld gaming consoles, such as the Steam Deck. The drive uses a graphene based heatspreader that's 0.17 mm-thick. It comes in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities, and appears to be based on a combination of a Phison E27T DRAMless controller, and a single 3D TLC NAND flash chip. It takes advantage of the PCI-Express 4.0 x4 host interface, offering sequential transfer speeds of up to 5500 MB/s reads, with up to 5200 MB/s writes, with around 700,000 IOPS of 4K random reads, and around 880,000 IOPS 4K random writes. The Apacer PE4430-R comes with some impressive endurance figures, of 500 TBW for the 1 TB variant, and 1,000 TBW for the 2 TB. The company didn't reveal pricing information.
