LITEON Offers EPX M2 SSD series up-to 1.92TB
LITEON (the company behind Plextor, is offering their new EPX M.2 SSD NVMe series storage units, these puppies can hold up to a whopping 1.92TB of storage volume.
While intended for the enterprise/server market, I wouldn't mind using these in desktops hanks ts to additional power loss protection. The EPX will become available in two models, a 960 GB and 1.92TB. Be aware though, that the M.2. units are following the 10cm M.2 22110 form factor, mostly motherboards support up-to 8cm. Then again, a lot of recent motherboards easily support the length.

i've had really good experiences with Plextor (M8pe, M7) the warranty is good (plextor's is a bit better)
and i've had many Lite-On products before. this is an "entry level" consumer M.2 with massive storage. i'll give it a try but i will miss the heatsinks that Plextor offers on the datacenter model.
