Team Group Launches QX SSD, a 15 TB SATA3 SSD Priced $3390

TEAMGROUP today launches QX, the industry’s first and largest consumer-grade, 15.3TB 2.5” SATA solid state drive, shaking the industry with its powerful debut.

The QX uses the latest 3D QLC flash memory and has up to 2560TBW of write life. It is super durable compared to other products in the industry, lightweight and compact, yet offers a high 15.3TB storage capacity. The QX will revolutionize the consumer-grade 2.5” SATA SSD market with its market dominating specification.

 

 

The QX uses the latest 3D QLC flash memory, which not only has the industry’s first and largest 15.3TB storage capacity but also has industry’s first write life up to 2560TBW. The ultra-high durability provides consumers with stability and reliability. The powerful QX supports smart dual Cache, including SLC Caching technology and DRAM Cache Buffer, delivering 560/480MB per second of ultra-fast read/write speed for smooth user experience. At the same time, it also excellent features such as low power consumption, shock resistance, noise-free, etc. With the huge terabyte storage capacity of a mechanical hard drive and the read/write performance not found in traditional mechanical hard drives, it can revolutionize and redefine the consumer-grade 2.5” SATA SSD with its massive 15.3TB storage capacity.

The QX not only has the largest 15.3TB capacity and the highest write life of up to 2560TBW, but it also supports Windows TRIM optimization command which can release free blocks, allowing the operating system to use them later immediately when writing data. The optimized access control technology of NCQ can speed up the transfer and write performance of the SSD, and effectively reduces performance degradation and wear and tear of the drive. This can prolong the service life of the SSD perfectly. The built-in smart algorithm management mechanism has functions such as garbage collection which can ensure operation efficiency. The powerful Wear-Leveling technology and ECC (Error Correction Code) function enhance the reliability of data transfer and provide consumers a reliable, compact SSD with massive capacity.

All this in a 2.5 drive is pretty impressive but that price is crazy. Nice it's in one drive the tb per dollar isn't that great sadly.

Still waiting on nvme drives to break the 2/4tb barrier. I do wonder if the form size might mess that up?

Little to no competition combined with an extremely niche product will always result in a comparatively high price. As it is there is barely any competition in the ~4GB SATA SSD space.

BTW, NVMe smashed that barrier already:

Only on pcie3 though it seems, good to know it can be beaten. I still worry about the form factor and the limits of the tiny amount of space.

That said 8tb might have to be my next drive that should do me. On 4.5 tb right now and that's constantly filled. So reckon having 8 plus some Sata ssds for older games will be a good pick.

If more games become like cod mw and its 200gb then smaller drives won't last long or it's a lot or writing and deleting which has its own negatives

Uhhhh..... you can get a 12Gbp/s 15.3TB TLC Samsung SAS drive for $2100. Why is a consumer-grade drive over $1000 more expensive than enterprise drive?

Its the only 2.5 inch SATA SSD with that capacity. Once there are others to choose from I am sure it will drop in price.

The density of this thing is pretty unreal. I checked and it is indeed only 7mm tall so in theory you can jam 8 of them into this:

If you want a crapload of solid state storage in a small space while still living in the desktop world I don't think any other options even come close.
