The 1TB version of NV7000-t has a declared maximum bandwidth of up to 7300MB/s read and up to 6600MB/s write. Considering it’s a DRAM-less design, and this bandwidth is confirmed by our tests, it’s really amazing.
The SSD is in standard M.2 2280 size, and because it uses only a thin heatsink, we can use it in laptops or other small computers like the NUC series.
The NV7000-t SSD arrived with a 0-hour counter and was in perfect condition. CrystalDiskInfo shows that the SSD is brand new without SMART errors or used cells.
The firmware was also the latest one when we received the SSD.
Below you can see some more details about the SSD from the AIDA64 report.
The idle temperature is around 40°C which is expected for this type of SSD. During load, the SSD shows no more than 50°C. It suggests that something is wrong with the thermal sensors or their reading. Considering that the SSD is DRAM-less and uses a popular Maxio controller, the expected temperature is not much above 50°C. However, all previously tested SSDs, which use a similar design, were never throttling, even in SFF computers with limited airflow. It seems like the firmware is triggering the thermal throttling way too soon, as the NV7000-t SSD will randomly throttle if there is no good airflow or if we won’t use a larger heatsink (than the one included with the SSD).
On the next page, we will look at the SSD itself and the package contents.
