Introduction
Neo Forza is a relatively young manufacturer of DRAM memory modules and flash memory products. The Taiwanese company was founded in 2018 as the enthusiast-focused brand of Goldkey, a well-established producer of computer hardware that focused on OEM manufacturing until recently.
Today, we have for review the Neo Forza NFS01, which is the company's most affordable 2.5" SATA solid-state drive. Internally, it's similar to the famous Crucial BX500—a Silicon Motion SM2258 XT flash controller handles data. The 3D TLC NAND flash is made by SanDisk, and a DRAM cache chip is not available to reduce cost.
The Neo Forza NFS01 comes in various capacities, ranging from 128 GB to 1 TB, and the warranty is set to three years.
