The Zhitai TiPro9000 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in December 2024. It is only available in the 2 TB capacity listed on this page. With the rest of the system, the Zhitai TiPro9000 interfaces using a PCI-Express 5.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the SM2508 from Silicon Motion, a DRAM cache chip is available. Zhitai has installed 232-layer TLC NAND flash on the TiPro9000, the flash chips are made by YMTC. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are processed more quickly. The cache is sized at 350 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 4000 MB/s. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 5.0 interface, performance is excellent. The TiPro9000 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 14,500 MB/s and 13,800 MB/s write.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. The TBW rating for the Zhitai TiPro9000 2 TB is unknown, too.
