Enjoy The Lightning Speed

Supports the latest PCIe Gen4 x4 specification, reaching 7,000/6,900 Mb/s, provides outstanding performance 15 times faster than ordinary SATA SSDs, and is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 ports.

Features Two Patented Heat sinks

The first in the industry to incorporate two patented heat sinks in one package, giving you the benefits of a patented high-strength aluminum heat sink and a patented ultra-thin graphene heat sink at the same time, so you can choose your preferred method for dissipating heat.

Effective Cooling & Flexible Installation

The patented high-strength aluminum heat sink features a unique thermal diversion design, capable of effectively reducing the temperature by up to 15%. The patented ultra-thin graphene heat sink features graphene material with excellent thermal conduction performance, delivering heat dissipation rates of up to 9%. Two patented heat sinks allow for flexible assembly without interference issues.

Supports The Latest NVMe 1.4 Standard

Optimizes the NVM sets distribution mechanism and Predictable Latency Mode (PLM), effectively reducing latency, while minimizing read/write damage and improving system QoS. Uses the latest Read Recovery Level (RRL) technology to extend the SSD's service life.

Manufacturer Contact Info

The Team Group T-FORCE CARDEA A440 is a 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD with DRAM cache and read speeds up to 7,000 MB/s, suited to gamers and PC users seeking fast storage for demanding workloads.

Recommended For

PS5 owners expanding internal game storage who want a 2TB PCIe 4.0 drive and can use the included low-profile graphene heatsink to keep the SSD-slot cover in place.
PC gamers adding a fast M.2 game-library drive who want high sequential performance, 2TB capacity, and a choice of heatsink options for their system’s available clearance.
PC builders moving large files or handling bursty creative-work transfers who want a TLC SSD with DRAM and can benefit from fast writes before the drive’s cache fills.
Desktop builders whose M.2 slot lacks an adequate heatsink and who prefer an SSD that includes a substantial aluminum heatsink for cooling under demanding use.

Real-World Use Scenarios

When a PS5 owner runs short on built-in storage, the 2TB A440 can be installed in the console’s M.2 expansion slot to store and play games from the added space; a reviewer’s PS5 test reported a read-speed check of about 6,557 MB/s. Use the slim graphene heatsink if you need the expansion-bay cover to fit.
For a PCIe 4.0 gaming PC that needs room for a larger game library, the 2TB A440 provides fast storage for game installs and play. Reviews found strong high-speed performance, though game loading is not guaranteed to be faster than on other top-tier SSDs.
When building or upgrading a desktop with limited M.2 clearance, users can choose the slim graphene heatsink or the taller aluminum heatsink based on the available space and cooling setup. The larger heatsink suits systems without an effective motherboard M.2 heatsink, while the slim option is better for tighter fits.
For transferring large games or media files on a compatible desktop, the A440 offers fast transfers for everyday batches of data. During very long, sustained writes, speeds can fall after the drive’s write cache is used, so it is not a promise of top rated speed throughout an extremely large transfer.

Reference Q&A

Q: Is the 2TB CARDEA A440 a better pick than the Samsung 980 PRO 2TB?

A: Choose the CARDEA A440 if you want its two included heatsink options, 6,900 MB/s rated sequential write speed, and 1,400 TBW endurance rating. Choose the Samsung 980 PRO if read performance in the compared workloads is your priority: PC Gamer’s testing found the A440 did not match the 980 PRO’s read performance. Results vary by workload, so neither drive is faster in every use.

Q: Which CARDEA A440 heatsink should I use in a PS5?

A: Use the 3.7 mm graphene heatsink if you want to reinstall the PS5’s M.2 slot cover. The A440’s 12.9 mm aluminum heatsink is also an option, but it is too tall to fit with that cover in place. TEAMGROUP lists the 2TB A440 as PS5-compatible; check the console installation requirements and heatsink clearance before installing.

Q: Should I get the 1TB or 2TB CARDEA A440?

A: Choose the 2TB model if you need more game or file storage, higher rated sequential writes, or more write endurance: TEAMGROUP rates it at up to 6,900 MB/s and 1,400 TBW. The 1TB model is rated at up to 5,500 MB/s sequential writes and 700 TBW, while both are rated for up to 7,000 MB/s reads. Choose 1TB if its capacity meets your needs.

Q: Is the CARDEA A440 2TB compatible with a PS5?

A: Yes. The product information identifies the 2TB CARDEA A440 as PS5-compatible. For installation with the PS5 slot cover in place, use the included 3.7 mm graphene heatsink; the 12.9 mm aluminum heatsink is intended for use without the slot cover. Confirm the console’s clearance requirements before installing a heatsink.

Q: Does this add storage to a PS5, and can I play PS5 games from it?

A: Yes. It installs in the PS5’s internal M.2 expansion slot to add storage, and PS5 games can be installed and played from compatible M.2 storage. It is an expansion drive, not a replacement for the console’s built-in storage.

Q: Will it fit in a desktop PC that already has an M.2 heatsink?

A: It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and a PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe interface, but physical clearance depends on the motherboard and its heatsink. Check the available space before installing; do not stack the motherboard heatsink over either included A440 heatsink unless the motherboard maker confirms that arrangement is suitable.

Q: Is this SSD a good fit for a laptop?

A: It may fit a laptop with a compatible M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe slot, but check the laptop’s storage specifications and internal clearance first. The A440 includes heatsinks, which may not fit in a laptop’s limited space; the product information does not confirm compatibility with specific laptop models.

Q: Is the 2TB CARDEA A440 a suitable SSD for a PS5?

A: Yes. The supplied product information says the 2TB A440 meets PS5 SSD requirements. It includes a low-profile 3.7mm graphene heatsink for installation with the PS5 slot cover; the taller 12.9mm aluminum heatsink is for use without that cover. Check the fit of the heatsink you choose before installing.

Q: Is the CARDEA A440 worth choosing for a PC gaming or work drive?

A: It is a reasonable fit if you want a high-speed PCIe 4.0 drive with DRAM and TLC, especially for frequent large-file transfers or heavier storage workloads. For game storage alone, Reddit discussion suggests that a less expensive SSD may feel similar in everyday use, so compare prices rather than paying extra solely for its headline speed.

Q: What is the main trade-off to consider before buying the CARDEA A440?

A: Cooling and installation are the key considerations raised in discussions: the drive is described as running hot, so use an appropriately fitting heatsink and ensure the device has suitable clearance and airflow. Its high performance may be more than you need for basic gaming or everyday use.
