TEAMGROUP MP33 PRO 1TB SLC Cache 3D NAND TLC NVMe 1.3 PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Drive SSD (Read Speed up to 2100MB/s) TBW>600TB Compatible with Laptop & PC Desktop TM8FPD001T0C101

I purchased the 4TB product, TeamGroup TM8FP4004T (TM8FP4004T0C101). Team, like ADATA and XPG, have become notorious for changing out controllers and NAND modules. First off, the good news. It *IS* confirmed to be Hynix 128-layer, 3-bit TLC, not 4-bit QLC. (32) Hynix 3dv6-128L TLC 16k 1024Gb/CE 1024Gb/die Bad news? Its the hard to find info about RealTek RL6447 PCIe 3.0 x4 controller. It does *NOT* seem to have embedded DRAM on-die, unlike other controllers. E.g.,here is what rtl_nvme_flash_id gave me ... v0.15a OS: 10.0 build 19045 Drive : 0(NVME) Scsi : 0 Driver : W10 Model : TEAM TM8FP4004T Fw : VB421D65 HMB : 65536 - 65536 KB (Enabled, 64 M) Size : 3907018 MB [4096.8 GB] LBA Size: 512 Fw Str : [REALTEK_RL6447 _p_tH3V6V] [] Yes, this is Host Memory Buffer (HMB) ... DRAM-*less*. The Amazon listing explicitly stated: TEAMGROUP MP34 4TB with DRAM SLC Cache 3D NAND TLC NVMe 1.3 PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 Note the DRAM SLC 3D NAND which pretty much FALSELY ADVERTISES DRAM.

I was skeptical about this because Ive always stuck to the well-known brands but this was very highly recommended when I did my research so I decided to put it in my Asus gaming build and it seems to be working well so far!

I was excited to add 4TB to my rig. My MoBo has 4 M.2 ports. If this worked out, I would add others. Unfortunately the stick was DOA. It was delivered in an unopened package, so it wasnt tampered. I loaded it in my first port, controlled by the CPU. In my case it is a 12th Gen i9. No Joy. It was not recognized by the BIOS nor Windows 11 PRO. Next I loaded it into each of my remaining 3 slots controlled by the CHIP SET, Z690. Again, No Joy. I contacted Amazon and will be returning it. I also reached out to TEAMGROUP regarding compatibility with my MoBo, figuring perhaps it was not compatible, GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS Ultra. I have not heard back from them yet. I would also want to verify that it now uses RTS5763DL controller and not Phison PS5013-E13 **UPDATE** I heard back from TEAMGROUP regarding compatibility with my MoBo, they responded Upon checking GIGABYTE online resources, the GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS Ultra motherboard can support TEAMGROUP MP34 M.2 PCIe SSD. We suggest contacting GIGABYTE customer service for further assistance in checking the maximum storage requirement confirmation. I then asked about the Controller and DRAM chips on the drive, they responded TEAMGROUP’s SSDs will have different DRAM configurations and sizes, and will not have fixed certain solutions (brand or configuration, or ranks). Please be assured that TEAMGROUP’s SSDs are safe to use and covered under a limited warranty. In addition, the TEAMGROUP MP34 M.2 PCIe SSD has a DRAM Cache. This answers another reviewers statement that they do not. Finally I asked about the controller being shipped, they responded We understand the importance of customer reviews and the impact they can have on the buying decision.

Best regards, Jasper TEAMGROUP This last answer raises a lot of red flags in my opinion. I, like many of us, count on 3rd party reviews that test products using standardized tests as well as customer reviews. The fact that they change important components such as controllers from what is being reviewed looks suspicious to me. The appearance is that they put a quality controller on the M.2 for the early reviews, then switch it out with a cheaper level controller to meet a price point. While I can not confirm this, TEAMGROUP will not disclose what is being used or why they changed. I returned my DOA 4TB drive and purchased 2- 2TB G4 Drives from Western Digital that cost roughly $100.00 more. To be Fair, I have 64GB RAM From TEAMGROUP, TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan DDR5 32GB, in my build and am very happy with them. Had the M.2 drive worked, I would have kept it.

cumplen con la velocidades establecidas y estan muy baratos funciona muy bien

Amazing speed and capacity for the price! Super quick reads and writes for such a cheap NVME M.2 SSD drive. Using them to run two PCs with the operating systems installed on these SSDs. Absolutely no issues with PC usage or even gaming or read/write heavy workloads. Seriously! A little over half a gigabyte for such high speeds for about the same price for nearly the same size SATA SSD!

I bought the 256gb for a retro gaming light gun build. So far its working great running a Linux system!!

I trust the company so you know what I mean.

No issues with the drive. Decent speed at a very good price point.

Works really well for general purpose computing. Dont know for gaming. Great price. Dont know about longevity, just got it, but other reviews on many websites rate it really well for that. Time will tell but hard to beat that price.

Im glade a good friend told me check out youre products fast reliable and for the price cannot be beaten. One thought I have maybe for the ssds in youre support have a clone or offer a program my father struggled trying to get his HD too ssd
