The Chinese manufacturer Teclast announced its first high-performance SSD in M.2 format. That is the Mirage NP900, which also stands out for making use of the latest controller NVMe of Silicon Motion, the SM2262. This controller makes use of a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 interface with an NVMe 1.3 protocol. Also, that can control eight channels of NAND Flash memory. The backup of a DRAM cache, and allows to reach sequential read and write speeds of up to 3200/1900 Mbps with a 4K random read and write of 370,000 / 300,000 IOPS.

In this specific case, the Teclast Mirage NP900 uses 64-layer NAND Flash memory chips manufactured by Toshiba. That passes the AS SSD benchmarking software with a real performance of 2685/1695 MB / s of reading and writing. Thus demonstrating a reasonably high-performance proper respect to its direct rivals like the Samsung 960 SSD. And all of this arrives hidden under a generous aluminum heatsink to keep excess heat away.
About availability, we may know something at CES 2018; its price will be much lower compared to the competition if we have in mind the costs of its 2.5 “SSDs. But it will be bought directly from China in the more than public webs that smartphones and tablets sell us.
