Netac is no stranger to the storage industry. Founded in 1999, this Chinese company made a name for itself early on by inventing the world's first USB flash drive.

Using market demand as the guide, the company provides a variety of easy-to-use, reliable and fashionable products including solid state drives, memory modules, USB flash drives, memory cards, and storage peripherals.
One of the latest additions to Netac's line of solid state drives is the NV7000-Q. Designed for enthusiasts and gamers, this compact, M.2 form factor drive is powered by Maxio Technology's DRAM-less MAP1602 controller and is available with up to 4TB of YMTC's 232-layer 3D QLC NAND flash.
