https://www.techpowerup.com/267028/adata-announces-the-falcon-m-2-nvme-pcie-gen-3-ssds ADATA today announced the Falcon line of SSDs in the M.2-2280 form-factor, with NVMe 1.3 protocol support, leveraging PCI-Express 3.0 x4 host interface. The drives are characterized by an aluminium heatspreader on top of the NAND flash chips and controller, which isn't just an adhesive metal peal, but a 1 mm-thick metal plate. The Falcon comes in capacities of 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB; and uses 3D NAND flash memory (likely QLC). The ADATA Falcon offers sequential speeds of up to 3,100 MB/s reads, with up to 1,500 MB/s writes; and up to 180,000 IOPS 4K random access. The 2 TB variant offers 1,200 TBW endurance, the 1 TB variant offers 600 TBW, the 512 GB variant 300 TBW, and the 256 GB variant 150 TBW. ADATA is backing the drives with a 5-year warranty. The company didn't reveal pricing. The warranty is very good and I expect these M.2 NVMe SSDs to be priced similar to their competitors. I like the design and I assume that is a heatsink that is included.

Wonder when we'll see consumer 4TB NVMe's?

Doubt there is much of a market for a $800 M.2 that is not Gen 4.0 PCIe

Love the price war that's happening with SSDs. I remember spending top dollar for a 30GB OCZ SATA SSD back in the day!

2TB's have been selling well for a year. Granted they weren't even that common last year. For $500 or less there is a market for 4TB. Heck, I can get two 2TB EX950's and a raid card for $650. I've been eyeballing used 3.84TB Micron 5100 sata drives and various U.2 drives on ebay for about $350-$450.
