LiteOn is the OEM company behind Plextor and LG, and they are addressing the market now with consumer grade products. They are going to offer three SKUs 128 GB (LCH-128V2S), 256 GB (LCH-256V2S), and 512 GB (LCH-512V2S) which are based on the affordable Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller.
The products come with a LPDDR3 controller cache of 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB. Nand flash memory wise you are looking at 16 nm MLC NAND flash from SK Hynix.
- The 128 GB version is slow with 150 MB/s writes
- The 256 GB version is slightly better at 260 MB/s
- The 512 GB version manages up-to 430 MB/s.
Their 4K random-access read speeds vary from 68K IOPS 84K IOPS. The sequential rad performance for all three drives however is very decent at 520 MB/s. The products will be released in thr Asia regions first, and we'll have to see when these products make it to the EU and USA markets.
