Team Group Cardea M.2 SSD for Gamers
Team Group announces the launch of its fastest storage solution designed for gamers with the introduction of the T-FORCE CARDEA M.2 solid-state drive. Available in 240 and 480GB the M.2 SSD utilizes x4 PCIE 3.0 for up to 2600MB/s read speeds along with NVMe and TRIM support.
The custom-made T-FORCE cooling module enhances looks as well as endurance for continuous high-intensity usage. This combination of high-speed data transfer, aggressive looks and effective cooling makes the T-FORCE CARDEA the perfect upgrade for gamers who want the best for their system.
- Cooling module with gaming fin type design can provide effective cooling for continuous and high intensity use.
- High performance superconductivity – Thermally conductive adhesive offers average heat radiating, instantaneously thermal energy transfer and accelerates the radiating process.
- Extreme read/write speed – Over 2600MB/s of read speed can enhance the speed and performance of the overall system.
- NVMe interface – Support latest NVMe specification.
- Support S.M.A.R.T. technology – Monitoring hard drive status efficiently.
- Support TRIM – Bring out its best performance on the compatible operating system.
- Product warranty – 3 years product warranty. Free technical support service.
Named after the Goddess of Storm, the T-FORCE CARDEA utilizes new-generation PCIE Gen3 x4 to breakneck 2600 MB/s read and 1450 MB/s write sequential performance and with up to 180K/140K IOPS in random read/write operations. The T-FORCE CARDEA's speed brings fast boot-up along with a responsive operating system that loads games and application faster for a smoother experience with reduced loading time.
The T-Force CARDEA M.2 PCIE SSD features the first high-performance cooling module for M.2 storage designed for gaming. Team Group's cooling module with patented gaming fin design allows natural convection or directed air cooling to enhance heat dissipation. That means that during high-load, gamers don't need to worry about heat-induced performance problems. The T-Force CARDEA has passed rigorous lab tests and burn-ins with Team Group certifying the SSD to operate 15% cooler than normal M.2 SSDs thus extending its service life.
T-Force M.2 PCIe SSD - CARDEA supports the latest NVMe standard. The system communicates directly via the PCIe bus and connects to PCIe controller of the chipset or processor, so you get improved transfer speeds that lead to high-performance data transfer experience with reduced lag or delay.
Dependable and Reliable
The T-Force CARDEA supports S.M.A.R.T function has built-in smart management algorithms functions such as GC (garbage collection) and TRIM command which ensure optimal efficiency, and the service life of the SSD to bring it to its maximum potential. Smart Wear-Leveling technology and ECC (Error Correction Code) function improve the accuracy and reliability of data transfer.

"How do we market this normal SSD for gamers?"
"Call it something 'gamey', like 'POWER', 'ULTIMATE', 'KILLER'"
"What about 'FORCE'?"
"Yea, go with that! And make it ugly. Just make the heatsink jaggy and weird, it's not about function, it just has to look like it's needed."
"OK, and how about making it red? Red goes faster, as the memes say."
"Perfect!"
hahah nice one. Don't forget about RGB. I feel TGB is nice in most products these days but I'm not willing to pay the extra for RGB lights.
All the need to do is ad a fancy red heatsink that looks big even on stupid parts of the ssd. It's like many gaming products that actually fail as being "gaming" products.

Well, performance vs price wise Samsung 960 EVO 250GB... EVO is ~20% faster and $10 cheaper.
But this thing has undeniably better cooling. Unfortunately it comes at cost of PCIe Slot and space in PC Case. I would still prefer M.2 slot on MB as that allows for slimmer PC.
I want my next build to be slim, that comes with need of riser cards/cables for 1x PCIe and 1x PCI or PCIe to PCI conversion. Adding 3rd card like this one into mix will already impact "slimness".

PCIe slot? This is m.2, no need for PCIe addin card
