The Inland TN436 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2230 form factor, launched in 2022. It is only available in the 1 TB capacity listed on this page. With the rest of the system, the Inland TN436 interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5019-E19-35 from Phison, a DRAM cache is not available. Inland has installed 112-layer TLC NAND flash on the TN436, the flash chips are made by Kioxia. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are soaked up more quickly. The cache is sized at 65 GB. Copying data out of the SLC cache (folding) completes at 100 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The TN436 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,400 MB/s and 2,400 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 320K for reads and 500K for writes.
At its launch, the SSD was priced at 140 USD. The warranty length is set to 6 years, which is a very long warranty, better than most other drives on the market. Inland guarantees an endurance rating of 600 TBW, a relatively low value compared to other SSDs.
