The SSD supports all the latest technologies to improve stability, data protection, and performance. Our results confirm that the SSD is well-designed, and there shouldn’t be any issues during longer work.
The NV7000-Q is similar to the previously tested NV7000-t. The main difference is the NAND type, as the earlier version used TLC, while the new one uses QLC. Netac decided to work with 232-layer YMTC 3D QLC NAND, which, surprisingly, has the same endurance as the TLC NAND used in the NV7000-t SSD – 640 TBW. The NV7000-Q also uses a Maxio MAP1602 controller, which has proven to be a solid option for DRAM-less M.2 SSDs. We had some good experience with other SSDs based on this controller.
A 5-year warranty covers the SSD, which is quite rare for QLC SSDs, but the manufacturer is clearly sure about the quality of the product.
Below, you can find a report from AIDA64 with some more details about the NV7000-Q SSD.
We didn’t notice any thermal throttling during tests, and the SSD was working without an additional heatsink or forced airflow. This proves that the NV7000-Q is perfect for laptops and gaming consoles such as PS5, as advertised by Netac.
What’s in the box?
Now, let’s take a look at the package and the SSD.
The package of the NV7000-Q SSD is similar to the one of the previously tested NV7000-t SSD. Besides the SSD, inside the box is a quick start guide and two little screws that can be handy if we miss it in our motherboard or laptop.
The box’s exterior is well described and provides general info about the SSD inside. The package is very small but still flashy, as seen in the photos.
The SSD itself isn’t as eye-catching as the package. Both sides are covered with stickers. On the back are product and serial numbers, while on the front are only a brand, model, and toned but attractive graphics that should match any PC if any heatsink won’t cover the SSD.
Below, you can see how the SSD looks on the test platform. We already know what to expect since it’s in a standard M.2 2280 size. It fits every popular desktop motherboard, as most (if not all) use M.2 2280 sockets.
