Teamgroup Cardea Z44Q 4TB NVMe SSD review

Teamgroup just announced the availability of their high-performance Z44Q M.2 NVMe SSD series based on QLC. Powered by a lightning-fast PS5016-E16 controller, this Cardea series product comes dangerously close to becoming one of the more storage-friendly SSDs we've tested in a long time. Of course, if you require lots of cold storage and performance levels above 5 GB/sec.

Honestly, for the capacity, form factor, and performance, that price is reasonable. I'm not going to buy it, but I expected worse.

Not sure I`ll get another Sabrent rocket 4 plus.... my 1tb is already down to 87% life left according to HWinfo after writing less than 6 tb, but my 2tb Mp600 is at 99% after 26tb host writes, strange thing is...Sabrents software puts the drive at 100% health....800TBW for a 4tb drive seems a bit low

My Asus MB supports (4) four M.2 slots and I rather place or distribute those at chunks of 2TB and 1TB's. Rather than taking a chance in loading-up 4TB all on one platter and losing my data all in one big hit if that should ever happen. Besides I am actually hard-pressed to even count "on one hand" how many people that I know who produce that much data or really require 4TB of cold storage.

great review HH.
i really like we are getting a wider variety of controllers in the market and that Phison is able to respond.
but i really, really like that the price point for this level of performance is lower than Samsung or SanDisk.
i lust after 4tb pcie 4 M.2's, but i still cannot justify the price.
that 2tb model is a different story as it's the right price/performance... and two of them is still cheaper than the 4tb model by over $40 if you have the slots.
for me anything over 2tb is still a cause for external drives, hopefully high speed probably RAID'ed.
