The iDsonix i7000 PRO 1TB is a brand-new SSD from the Orico owned brand iDsonix. This new SSD has advertised reading speeds of 7000 MB/s and writing speeds of 6500 MB/s and uses the brand new Maxio MAP1602 controller.
In terms of the design, this SSD is simple, with a single side PCB layout and simple labels on both sides. The labels themselves have a black background and reflective orange strips, at least the front one.
With the SSD you get a small heatsink that is supposed to aid with the cooling of the controller and the SSD overall.
The iDsonix i7000 PRO 1TB uses the standard 2280 form factor which makes it compatible with all devices that have the 2280 space and form factor.
The SSD has a heatsink included in the bundle but it’s rather small and thin. In fact, I am not sure what kind of heat dissipation such a small heatsink can do in real world usage but we will see during testing.
The heatsink has two parts, the upper part is made with small fins to dissipate the heat with the lower part acts as a holder. Both parts slide into each other and lock into place, holding the SSD inside.
The iDsonix i7000 PRO 1TB has as its controller the brand new Maxio MAP1602. An controller that is manufactured on 12 nanometer nodes and uses multiple Arm Cortex R5 CPU cores. Unfortunately, this controller has no support for DRAM and thus, this SSD has no DRAM cache available.
The NAND memory chips used on this SSD are made by Yangtze Memory, or YMTC.
These are the 232-layer 3D TLC NAND memory chips, brand new models and in house designs of the Asian manufacturer.
The model number of these chips is M7117501-TB38814.
The iDsonix i7000 PRO 1TB, has a PCIe Gen 4 x4 interface.
