The Teamgroup MP34 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2019. It is available in capacities ranging from 256 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 256 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Teamgroup MP34 interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5012-E12-27 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Teamgroup has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the MP34, the flash chips are made by Toshiba. Please note that this SSD is sold in multiple variants with different NAND flash or controller, which could affect performance, the "Notes" section at the end of this page has more info. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are soaked up more quickly. The MP34 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,400 MB/s and 1,100 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 450K for reads and 400K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. Teamgroup guarantees an endurance rating of 380 TBW, a high value.
