TeamGroup announces T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PCIe 4.0 SSD at 7 GB/s
Meet the CARDEA A440 PCIe 4.0 SSD. It features extreme read and write speeds up to 7000 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively, and comes with two patented heat sinks that gamers can install and match to their needs. The SSD’s blazing speeds will help players unleash their skills and venture into gaming worlds faster than ever.
The T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PCIe 4.0 SSD supports the PCIe Gen 4x4 specification and the latest NVMe 1.4 standard and is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 interface ports. Not only does it support high read/write speeds of up to 7000/6900 MB/s, but it is also available with large capacities of 1 or 2 TBs. The classic matte black CARDEA A440 features two of the industry's first interchangeable, patent-certified thermal modules. The layered and unique beveled surface of the "aluminum fins" is specially designed to increase the heat dissipation area and can reduce SSD temperature by up to 15%[1]. The "ultra-thin graphene heat sinks" consist of the best materials for thermal conductivity and can dissipate heat by up to 9%[2]. TEAMGROUP’s CARDEA A440 provides the best heat dissipation solution. Gamers no longer need to worry about encountering thermal throttling when running games at full speed, causing slowdowns. They can freely enjoy the ultimate gaming experience.
The T-FORCE CARDEA A440 SSD uses the latest RRL (Read Recovery Level) technology, which can improve the SSD’s lifespan. Its optimized NVM Sets segmentation mechanism and PLM (Predictable Latency Mode) reduces latency and read and write wear. The CARDEA A440 SSD not only features remarkable specifications but also heat dissipation technology and excellent durability, providing the most stable experience for users and helping them realize their full gaming potential.

Do we have use in gaming for such a fast storage? You'll never get instant loading despite how fast your drive is.

Maybe in the future when games are made with game engines that make use of the fast storage. Unreal Engine 5 for example is apparently taking advantage of the fast ssd speeds of the XBSX/S and PS5 which will help us PC players as well but it's not out yet. There's also RTX IO/DirectStorage coming soonish.

DAAAAAAAAAAAMN these things are getting fast baby!
My Sabrent rockets 4.0 edition are starting to look like they're yesterday's news.
Now if the price points could taper back a little it would be even more epic sauce to go with the performance....
The 1TB drive is reasonably priced for what you're getting. For the same price, you can get a good SATA 2TB drive, but would get decimated in benchmarks. So the way I see it, you can either get blazing fast speeds, or, double the capacity. That's a fair tradeoff to me.
The 2TB drive is a bit much though haha.

Anybody know what type of flash these things use? TeamGroup fails to mention anything on their product website about this.
