Team Group Unveils the T-Force Z54E Gen 5 NVMe SSD
Team Group today introduced the T-Force Z54E M.2 NVMe Gen 5 SSD. This enthusiast-segment SSD is powered by Phison's latest E28 series controller that's built on the TSMC 6 nm node and comes with significantly lower thermals than the E26 series. The drive comes in 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB models, and takes advantage of PCI-Express 5.0 x4 interface to offer sequential transfer speeds of up to 14,900 MB/s reads on all models. The 2 TB and 4 TB models offer up to 14,000 MB/s sequential writes, while the 1 TB model offers up to 13,700 MB/s sequential writes.
The Team Group T-Force Z54E comes as a bare-drive, with only a graphene-based heat spreader, no active cooling solution, so you're probably recommended to use the heatsinks included with your motherboard. The company did not put out random-access performance numbers, but states endurance at 600 TBW for the 1 TB model, 1200 TBW for 2 TB, and 2400 TBW for the 4 TB model. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Yea yea I know drive speeds are limited by the current interfaces, mobo's and all that, but I'm just silently awaiting the arrival of PCIe-6 (& 7) so we can begin to get some REALLY fast drives to work with....
And of course, some prices would be nice to see too, or are they giving these away for f.R.e.E, hahaha.....:D
Be interested to see if the temps and power are as good as the prototype/reference design.
