Netac NV7000 2 TB M.2 NVMe SSD

[W1zzard]

The Netac NV7000 is the company's flagship PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD. It is based on the highly popular and battle-tested combination of a Phison E18 controller paired with Micron's latest and greatest 176-layer 3D TLC NAND. With their drive, Netac is including an excellent heatsink that ensures there's no thermal throttling.

This is exactly the case where the distinction between GB and GiB matters. 2000 GB = 2,000,000,000,000 B = 1862,6 GiB, so both numbers you've given amount to the same amount. (and we don't know anything about raw capacity anyway).

I was excited about this drive until I saw the price.

Yeah, the price makes this dead on arrival, I mean the 2TB WD SN850 goes on sale for $220 these days... so eh, I'd rather have that if I were spending this kind of money on storage (I am not) might as well wait for nvme gen5 at this price point.

Maybe on AliExpress it is cheaper, usually Netac drives are on it. Yeah, obviously the delivery time isn’t the best aspect of that store…

Aliexpress is indeed cheaper.
This drive cost 110usd for 1tb, 200usd for 2tb and 500usd for the 4tb drive.
All from the official Netac store before any coupons that can shave off another 8-24usd of the price.

That's much better pricing indeed, makes me wonder why they gave me those other numbers.. I specifically asked

Now, at 110 USD for 1TB SKU, it has more sense. That price for this kind of drive is great, it's a lot cheaper than the other E18 + 176L-based drives and it has the same performance.

Yeah, when shopping for E18+176L there's no reason to have any brand loyalty, these drives are all virtually identical

I've heard NVME/SSD prices should be dropping soon due to lack of demand and over production so I can wait. I'm fairly certain a 4TB module will be the heart of my next build.

I specifically need the main SSD for my OS and the associated cloud storage (Onedrive) above all else. Everything else I can store externally.

Yea certain 2TB gen 4 ssds are well priced quite often, but indeed many people don't want and/or need them. I liked seeing the $220 SN850 & $216 P41 (after coupon), but personally sticking w/ a P31 for now. copying/installing a bunch of steam games at once is about the most I would do lately.

can the article be updated to show the bait and switch that Netac pulled? retail models don't have Phison E18/Micron, instead they ship with Innogrit IG5236 and YTMC 128L 512gbit 3D TLC.
it's still a good SSD if the price is right and you buy from a store with a warranty, in CIS countries it's pretty popular.
this is a review of the Innogrit version

Thanks for posting that review! I was about to make a purchase...

Checked prices today and are very affordable. NV7000 1TB Goes for $79 and 2TB for $129. That's very cheap. Also there's a $12 coupon (BRANDC12 at cheackout)

I got a 2TB one today and during the full format, the write speeds in Task Manager showed:
* 70MB/s for the first few seconds.
* Then 3.2GB/s
* Within four minutes it was down to ~680MB/s with brief spikes to 1.5GB/s or 2GB/s.
* Within 15 minutes it had stabilised around 750MB/s.
* Full 2TB format completed in 28m58s, averaging only 1.07GiB/s for the 1863GiB reported capacity.

I am very disappointed, this is obviously the InnoGrit version. I bought it specifically for the high sustained write speeds and it is not fit for my purposes. It will be going back.

It is quite unfortunate that they can just change the SSD like this, it is substantially gimped.

The heatsink also has a sticker over one of the screws stating the warranty is void if removed, that also sucks. Corsair doesn't do that.
The heatsink is also too wide, it blocks my neighbouring M.2 slot.

I got a Corsair MP600 Pro XT about two weeks ago and that did a full format averaging 5.56GiB/s (5.5 minutes for 2TB, or 1863TiB full format).

I was thoroughly impressed with the Corsair, and they don't void warranties for heatsink removal. I will probably look for another in the upcoming Prime Day/Black Friday sales.
