Team Group T-Force Cardea A440 PRO M.2 NVMe 1.4 PCIe Up to 4TB SSD

 Team Group, Inc. launches the T-Force Cardea A440 PRO M.2 PCIe SSD, pioneering in the gaming storage market with R/W speeds reaching up to 7,400/7,000 MB/s. ^[1]

A440 PRO fast approaches the theoretical maximum speeds of Gen4x4 interfaces, providing gamers with an invincible gear for battling.

The Cardea A440 PRO is equipped with the upgraded patented aluminum fin type heat sink, which is equipped with the optimal structure for heat removal by taking advantage of airflow and ventilation. Aluminum fins are arranged to increase cooling surfaces, therefore improving heat dissipating efficiency. The advanced dual heat dissipating combination of ventilation and increased surface cooling enables A440 PRO to be 48% cooler ^[2] than other SSDs without additional cooling. It delays the occurrence of speed drop caused by high temperature generated during high-speed operations, breaking SSD performance barriers. This SSD also offers the option of a patented ultra-thin graphene heat sink, utilizing graphene as the cooling medium to take advantage of the material’s high thermal conductivity. The ultra-thin design improves cooling efficacy by 9% ^[3] and is fully compatible with various motherboards. The two heat dissipation modules are packaged individually, and each is available in one, two, and 4TB storage capacities. Gamers can top the best gaming arsenal based on their needs and platform choices.

The A440 PRO supports the latest NVMe 1.4 standards, is compatible with PCIe3.0 and PCIe 4.0 standards, and uses the latest RRL (Read Recovery Level) technology to improve the SSD’s lifespan. Its optimized NVM Sets segmentation mechanism and PLM (Predictable Latency Mode) effectively reduce latency and R/W wear to improve the system’s QoS, ensuring peak performance from the A440 PRO SSD, and fulfill gamers’ great expectations of an ultimate storage experience.

^[1] This product is compatible with Intel and AMD platforms, and the performance result is tested on a motherboard that supports PCIe 4.0 interface by the T-Force internal laboratory. The actual speed may vary depending on the software and hardware conditions of the platform.
^[2] With Team Group’s patented gaming fin type cooling module, both natural convection and forced air cooling (e.g. fan) can enhance heat dissipation. Long and rigorous test and burn-in test by the internal laboratory have proven that it can lower the temperature by up to 48% in open space, which provides more stable performance and extends the service life of the SSD.
^[3] The experimental data is based on T-Force internal laboratory’s test result. Under the same condition, the temperature test data is according to the comparison of the non-heat spreader M.2 PCIe Gen4x4 SSD and the T-Force Cardea A440 PRO SSD. The relevant test environment is simulated under a fanless environment using mask. The actual speed may vary depending on the software and hardware conditions of the platform.
