TeamGroup PD1000 512GB Portable SSD
USB 3.2 Gen2 1000 MB/s with a portable NVMe USB SSD

We review the TeamGroup PD1000 Portable SSD (512GB). This is among the fastest portable storage to date as it is SSD based, combined with the DNA of NMVe it can reach 1000 MB/sec over USB 3.2 Gen2, not bad for 99 USD eh? The SSD is among the faster portable storage units released and a bit of a trend for TeamGroup. Not just that it is a multifunctional storage unit that is waterproof and dustproof.

The PD1000 is a more premium feeling product, the housing is made of blue anodized aluminum. It uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-c connection for speeds of up to 10 Gb/s. It has an IP68 certificate and must, therefore, be waterproof, dust-resistant and resistant to high pressure. It comes in capacities of 1 TB and 512 GB. The PD1000 read/write speeds are is up to 1000/900 MB/s and it is compatible with operating systems such as Android, Mac OS and Windows, etc.

Great business appearance and excellent heat-dissipating performance
USB 3.2 Gen 2 super speed+ file transfer
Certified military-grade drop resistance
IP68 waterproof, dustproof and pressure-proof certification
Supports multiple platform devices

TeamGroup Delta RGB DDR5 6000 MHz CL40 review
Today, we are checking the TeamGroup T-Force Delta RGB 6000 MHz CL40. This is the first DDR5 kit that I had contact with, and overall it’s already from the upper range of the new type of memory (so a nice debut). It has been introduced together with the Intel Alder Lake CPU family but should also be implemented in the AMD AM5 platform. But getting back to the reviewed product, the first information about the new series from TeamGroup memory was published in August’21 (but the maximum frequency was 5600 MHz at that time). The sample that we got is a 2 x 16 GB 6000 MHz model, so it’s a high-frequency kit.
