Team Group T-Force Cardea M.2 2280 240GB PCI-e 3.0 x4 with NVMe 1.2 MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) TM8FP2240G0C110

PCI-e Gen3 SSD – A great leap forward in extreme performance!

The Team Group T-FORCE series for gaming now release the first gaming M.2 PCI-e SSD - Cardea, the Goddess of Storm. Cardea supports the new generation PCI-e Gen3 x4 high speed interface and the latest NVMe specification. Besides its powerful superior read/write speed, with its outstanding performance of sequential read/write speed up to 2,600/1,450 MB/s, and random read/write speed up to 180K/140K IOPS, it is still able to reduce operating delays of the operating system and game/software, and delivers the finest and smoothest gaming experience and an extreme high speed performance without any lag even reading/writing large amounts of game data, complex 3D graphics and motion processing algorithms with fancy special effects, or loading heavy duty video/graphics editing software.

Patent module increases radiating performance by 15%

T-Force M.2 PCI-e SSD – Cardea is the first high performance M.2 PCI-e SSD product in the market that is specifically designed for gaming and high performance computer. Using Team Group’s cooling module with patent gaming fin type design, it allows natural convection or forced air cooling (e.g. fan) to enhance radiating. Therefore, when gaming/high performance computer operating at full speed, users don’t have to worry about the heat generated will affect the system performance anymore. T-Force M.2 PCI-e SSD – Cardea has passed our long and rigorous internal laboratory tests and burn-in test. Computer using Team Group’s cooling module with patent gaming fin type design can be cooled down about 30°C in an open space, and 10°C in a closed space. The exceptional radiating performance offers T-Force M.2 PCI-e SSD – Cardea a more stable performance and prolongs the service life effectively.

Superconductivity Instantaneous heat transfer

When the transfer speed is higher than 1000MB/s, the controller of PCI-e SSD will endure 65°C of temperature while the center of the heat of PCI-e is located at the controller. T-Force M.2 PCI-e SSD – Cardea is using superconductivity – thermally conductive adhesive, which has a higher cooling coefficient than ice. The heat at the control center can be averagely transferred to the cooling module through superconductivity – thermally conductive adhesive to speed up the radiating process. The thermal conductivity of general heat spreaders’ adhesive in the market are K=0.6~0.8. To pursue perfection, and regardless of the cost, T-Force M.2 PCI-e SSD – Cardea has brought in high coefficient thermally conductive adhesive which researched and produced by Canada. It can enhance cooling module’s performance and make K value above 2; therefore SSD’s radiating performance can be pushed to the extreme with instantaneous heat transfer.

Thermal Conductivity:
K value is used to represent thermal conductivity. The greater K value is, the more heat transfers. For example, the K value of water is 0.6, and the K value of ice is 2.

NVMe No more lag

T-Force M.2 PCI-e SSD – Cardea supports the latest NVMe specification. The system communicates with it through PCI-e bus and connects to the built-in PCI-e controller of the chipset or processor, so the signal transfer is as simple and precise as point to point. M.2 PCI-e SSD – Cardea offers you a pleasant high performance transfer experience, without a bit of lag or delay.

Transfer speed is 4 times higher than the SATA III interface

The transfer speed of traditional solid state drive is limited within SATA’s 6Gb/s bandwidth, therefore consumers have gradually shifted to PCI-e interface, which is capable of offering higher transfer speed. Due to this fact, T-Force M.2 PCI-e SSD – Cardea is using PCI-e Gen3 x 4 high speed transfer interface. With the support of PCI-e bus bandwidth, it can offer consumers a stable transfer speed of at least 1000MB/s, or up to over 2000MB/s. The transfer speed is 4 times higher than SATA 6GB/s interface and allows consumers to enjoy the high speed multimedia entertainment experience.

Smart technology – dependable reliability

T-Force M.2 PCI-e SSD – Cardea supports S.M.A.R.T function and its built-in smart algorithm management mechanism has functions such as GC (garbage collection) and TRIM command which are able to ensure operation efficiency, prolong the service life of the SSD and bring it to its maximum performance. Meanwhile, the powerful Wear-Leveling technology and ECC (Error Correction Code) function improve the accuracy and reliability of data transfer.

Operating System Support
PCI-e SSD works best under WIN8.1 and WIN10 operating system. Windows Operating Systems earlier than Windows 8.1 does not support NVMe Driver natively. Users will need to install NVMe Driver prior installing the SSD.

Users with Windows OS earlier than Win8.1, please download NVMe Driver prior installing the SSD.
The installation procedures are as follows:
Step 1: Please download the file and unzip it.
Step 2: Select version X86 or X64 according to your computer system and install.
Step 3: Restart your computer when requested to complete the installation.
