Synthetic was yesterday, let’s now come to the direct comparison with some other SSDs in the real life of a workstation. The following benchmarks namely show very clearly that the SSD still has a lot of optimization needs when using the controller (firmware). Yes, one has unfortunately adapted too much to the usual benchmarks and the everyday performance has been somewhat neglected. The write performance is clearly behind the theoretical possibilities in some applications, while some applications ignite the data turbo. However, one is worlds behind the HP FX9000 Pro, despite such great results in the synthetic benchmarks, which is unfortunately a shame.
Reading is very similarly mixed, but there are cases like 3dsm where the data rate falls behind disproportionately.
Yes, the performance is quite sufficient even in applications, but it is already very mixed, depending on the application and workload. And so you really have to consider whether you really feel it subjectively and whether it really increases productivity in the individual case or perhaps even decreases it in the worst case.
Summary and conclusion
However, what I really like, despite all the cuts in some applications, is that the NETAC NV7000-t 2TB NVMe is really so really frugal and efficient, it stays nice and cool and doesn’t scream for a massive heatsink complete with fan! This alone could make up for the much too high Amazon price of 145 Euros and the mediocre workstation story. However, you won’t notice these small slips in a few applications, neither when gaming nor when streaming. The NETAC NV7000-t 2TB NVMe has interesting flash modules installed and also has a rather exotic controller, which also has a small problem.
All of this is the positive side with the want-to-have factor. But there is also a certain downside, and that is probably due to the firmware. I see an extreme need to catch up here in many an application (especially with small written data blocks), whereas the pure optimization is somewhat effective with larger and longer data streams (e.g. when streaming the video file). But many small write and copy operations in some workstation applications puzzle the controller from time to time.
You can’t simply ignore the minor weaknesses and partial performance drops, even if it’s often not even noticeable in practice. But they are there and definitely tarnish the actually very positive overall picture with the great efficiency. I would have wished for a really more consistent performance, but there’s always room for improvement. The device is more than usable for gaming and the loading times of the games are nothing to get angry about. But it’s like always: The devil is in the details. I would definitely not install it in a workstation with very different workloads. The price is on par with Corsair and Seagate, which I think is very ambitious and exaggerated. There is still a lot of optimization to be done and the price has to be adjusted to the performance. Yes, you can do that if you don’t want to have problems with the cooling. Or not, if it’s about pure performance and you can also cool actively.
