In addition to the earlier unveiled SSD OEM lineup, Samsung has also unveiled a new SATA-based 2.5-inch CM871a value-oriented SSD based on 1xnm TLC NAND and new MAIA controller.

In addition to the earlier revealed SM961 and PM961 M.2 NVMe OEM SSDs, Samsung has also revealed the new value-oriented SATA-based CM871a OEM SSD at Samsung SSD Forum in Japan.

To be available in 128GB and 256GB capacities, the new CM871a will be using Samsung's own MAIA controller which supports multiple types of NAND, including TLC and 3D V-NAND. The new CM871a SSD will be currently based on 16nm TLC NAND and offers sequential performance of up to 535/215 MB/s for read and write as well as up to 97K/59K IOPS for random 4K read and write.

The new CM871a will also have support for Samsung's TurboWrite feature, which raises sequential write performance to 515MB/s while random 4K write performance goes up to 88K IOPS.

In addition to the CM871a, which will use TLC NAND, Samsung also unveiled the PM871a, which is based on the same MAIA controller but uses TLC 3D V-NAND. This one will be available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB capacities and offer similar performance as the CM871a.

There are no word on the price or the availability date when these will be available to OEM customers. Unfortunately, there is no word that these will come to consumer market anytime soon.
