Netac NV7000-Q 1TB PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe SSD System Setup Table

We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings.  We are running the latest motherboard BIOS.  We have Windows 11 Pro configured to run in the “Balanced” power profile.  Windows has the latest updates.  We are running the latest Win11 23H2 update from October 2023.

For our SSD comparisons today, we are including the Netac NV7000 and Netac NV7000-t as they are direct relevant comparisons to see how the new Netac NV7000-Q compares.

CrystalDiskInfo

Installation of the SSD went smoothly. In CrystalDiskInfo we can see information on the SSD below. We can see that the Netac NV7000-Q 1TB SSD has Firmware SN17195 installed and is running at PCIe 4.0 x4. The NVM Express protocol is misread, as it is specified to be NVMe 1.4, this software does not have updates that recognize this brand-new SSD that is just now launching.

SUMMARY

We reviewed the Netac NV7000-Q 1TB PCIe Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD, which is a value-oriented SSD offering a 1TB capacity of QLC-based 3D NAND flash. Utilizing the Maxio MAP1602 controller and fast YMTC 3D NAND flash it produces competitive PCIe 4.0 Gen4 x4 7GB/s throughput performance, with good access times, and read performance, however random writes could suffer a bit. It does good in smaller file size manipulation, but can choke in very large file sizes due to the 4-bit per cell QLC flash. However, it has competitive endurance for a QLC-based drive, and removes a lot of stigma with QLC drives. It runs very cool, in a slim and compact profile it is compatible in a large range of systems. Pricing is to be determined, but if priced right, could be a great value-option for enthusiasts.
