TeamGroup is the creator of some of the most high-quality memory products for the PC industry. They have come a long way since their inception in 1997 and went on to become one of the fastest-growing product manufacturers and a leading brand around the globe.
Since the arrival of DDR4 memory in the mainstream market, TeamGroup started a separate line of DIMM kits under their new T-Force brand. The T-Force brand is the more enthusiast and gamer aimed memory series with a sheer focus on quality and performance.
The company later expanded the T-Force brand into their entire gaming portfolio which includes SSDs, gaming peripherals, and more.
T-FORCE is TEAM force. The red "T" on the logo of "TF" represents TEAMGROUP's passion for the storage products. The black "F" represents TEAMGROUP's over 18 years of promotion of storage products. The visual design of the perfect combination elegantly symbolizes a pair of flying wings. They represent that the high quality and extreme performance gaming products from TEAMGROUP are capable of allowing all gamers to break the speed limit and enjoy the ever-changing world of gaming.
Today, I will be testing the TeamGroup T-Force CARDEA A440 PRO 2 TB Gen 4 SSD which is priced at a very premium $359.99 US for the Graphene & $395.99 US for the Aluminum heat spreader variant. This is the flagship SSD from TeamGroup for 2021 and features some insanely high speeds so let's get into the specifications of this little monster!
Teamgroup T-Force CARDEA A440 PRO 2 TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD
TeamGroup expands its T-Force CARDEA lineup with the A440 PRO, an upgraded variant of the A440 but with a focus purely on high-end Gen4 performance.
The T-Force CARDEA PRO 2 TB SSD is based on the NVMe SSD form factor and features a total of eight Micron 176-layer 3D TLC NAND B47R chips which offer larger capacities, better performance, and slightly lower power input. The M390 SSDs are also based on the Gen 4 Phison PS5018-E18 controller. The SSD also comes with dual SK Hynix DDR4-2666 DRAM chips which offer 2 GB total capacity.
