TeamGroup's new flagship T-Force Cardea A440 Pro SSDs come with aluminium and graphene heatsink options
TeamGroup has just announced its newest flagship SSD called the T-Force Cardea A440 Pro.
These SSDs come in the standard M.2 2280 form factor and support PCIe 4.0. They come in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities.
Performance is naturally blistering. According to TeamGroup, the 1TB's maximum read and write speeds are 7.2GB/s and 6GB/s respectively. As for the larger 2TB and 4TB variants, these can get up to 7.4GB/s read speeds and 7GB/s write speeds.
TeamGroup is also offering two cooling options for these drives: aluminium and graphene. The aluminium heatsink is considerable larger but TeamGroup claims it can reduce temperatures by as much as 48%, allowing for longer sustained peak performance. It's ideal for users who have the space and want maximum performance.
The graphene heatsink, on the other hand, is just a sliver and much thinner. TeamGroup says it improves cooling by up to 9% and will fit anywhere. It's good for notebook users who want to upgrade their storage.
Availability and pricing
No word yet on local availability and pricing but these drives will be available in the US by mid to late November. We will update when we hear more from them. For now, here are their US prices:
