The NETAC NV7000-t 2TB NVMe SSD is actually a highly interesting SSD, because it combines (like the already reviewed Acer Predator GM 7) a (still) quite exotic controller (that does without DRAM as cache) with a very special Chinese 3D-TLC NAND from YMTC. In this form, it is even (on paper) one of the fastest PCIe-4 SSDs without a DRAM cache and, with the other clones, probably the most efficient SSD in this segment at all. Even though it is currently only available via Amazon in this country, I naturally don’t want to miss out on such a piece and hope for a bit more price competition in the future. The SSD tested today comes from NETAC itself (not BIWIN) and also uses the reference board from Maxio.
Those who miss the UL label for North America on the pictures have already recognized the problem. But I’m not going to babble about protectionism (eager US lobbyists) and various artificial obstacles now, because there is definitely nothing really resilient to report yet – also regarding potential import restrictions. This is only about finished products that third parties install quite successfully and the result once again shows quite clearly that it does not always have to be the protected Micron-Phison alliance when it comes to interesting SSDs. And it is exactly the rarity factor that makes such a test so appealing.
The NETAC NV7000-t comes in a short, 8 cm long M.2 form factor with PCIe 4.0 x4 as interface and at least transfers data with up to 7,300 MB/s in read and 6,700 MB/s in write. But will this really be achieved and needed in practice? We have already recently had a larger test, which clearly denies this for real applications. So let’s be surprised! Like almost all other manufacturers, a “dynamic pSLC cache” is used for this SSD, which I would like to and have to say a few words about for a better understanding in the course of the article, but the DRAM is omitted.
Unboxing, accessories and assembly
The manufacturer packs the naked SSD without a cooling block, which is a sustainable idea in times of motherboards with integrated M.2 coolers and a significantly increased efficiency. In the end, you don’t even need an extra cooler, but we’ll see about that. So, it is more a question of taste and technical necessities whether you cool the SSD at all. Both are possible, but not absolutely necessary.
The SSD has a blank back on the PCB, which corresponds to Maxio’s reference PCB and carries the manufacturer’s sticker.
The rest is as unspectacular as it gets on the back, because there is nothing there. However, this also improves the cooling capability from the back, if you need it at all.
For a better overview, I now have the data sheet of the tested variant for you, before I uncover the SSD on the following page and analyze the technology including the dynamic pSLC:
