Available in the M.2 2280 (480GB) and M.2 22110 (960GB) form-factors, the EP1 Series aims to provide compact, power-efficient operation with reliable high performance. Lite-On promises 4KB random read and write speeds of up to 120,000 IOPS and 40,000 IOPS respectively. According to Lite-On representatives, the EP1 will be built with an unnamed Marvell controller and Toshiba MLC NAND.
