Introduction

Netac is a flash storage expert company based out of Shenzen, China. It was founded in 1999 and has always had a focus on flash-based products, like USB sticks and memory cards, but also DRAM-based memory like DDR4. While the company's main focus of operation is their OEM business, producing flash products for various clients, they are now making a big push to enter the DIY retail space with their own products.



The Netac NV7000 is a high-end M.2 NVMe drive using the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface. Internally, it is based on the highly popular combination of Phison E18 controller and 176-layer B47R TLC flash memory from Micron. This means it shares the same design elements with famous drives like the Corsair MP600 Pro LPX, Kingston KC3000, Seagate FireCuda 530, MSI M480 Play, Team Group Cardea A440 Pro, and others. In order to keep heat levels down and ensure compatibility with the Sony PlayStation 5, Netac pre-installed a heatsink on the NV7000, and a DRAM cache is included, too.

The Netac NV7000 comes in capacities of 1 TB ($180), 2 TB ($350), and 4 TB ($700). Endurance for these models is set to 700 TBW, 1400 TBW, and 3000 TBW respectively. Netac includes a five-year warranty with the NV7000 SSD.
