TeamGroup is the creator of some of the most high-quality memory products for the PC industry. They have come a long way since its 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 its 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 taking a look at two unique SSDs under the Teamgroup SSD portfolio. First up we have the T-Force CAREA Z440 TUF which is designed in collaboration with ASUS's TUF brand and is focused on gamers while the second is the MP44L which is more of a mainstream solution with a new cooling technique that was introduced last year.
Teamgroup T-Force CARDEA Z440 TUF 1 TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD
The T-Force CARDEA Z440 1 TB SSD is based on the NVMe SSD form factor and features the 2nd-generation BiSC4 96-layer 3D TLC NAND Flash technology. The Z440 SSDs are also based on the Gen 4 Phison PS5016-E16 controller. The SSD also comes with 1 GB of DDR4 SLC-Cache.
FEATURES
First M.2 PCIe4.0 SSD Certified by TUF Gaming AllianceReinforced Aluminum Heat Sink Effectively Reduces Temperature by 48% for Fast PerformanceUltimate Performance UnleashedSmart Algorithm for Reliable PerformanceFive-year Warranty for Maximum Protection
TeamGroup T-Force CARDEA Z440 TUF 1 TB has sequential read speeds of 5000 MB/s and write speeds of 4400 MB/s. The Random read speed of the drive is up to 750K IOPS and the write is 750K IOPS too. The endurance of the lineup is rated at 1800 TBW or 1,700,000 hours which should last a good amount of time with these drives. You are also looking at a 5-year limited warranty too.
