MP44L

M.2 2280 SSD Series

Your Ultimate Solution for Superior Speed and Heat Management

Heat dissipating graphene SSD label

MP44L M.2 PCIe SSD is the first product to introduce conductive graphene coating on aluminum foil to the SSD label. Less than 1mm thick, the new label design eradicates mechanical interference when assembling. Moreover, together with the onboard M.2 heat sink, the heat dissipating performance is doubled!

Supporting SLC Cache enhancing work efficiency drastically

MP44L M.2 PCIe SSD adopts the PCIe Gen4x4 interface and supports SLC Cache. It delivers read/write speeds of up to 5,000/4,500MB/s. Compared with the PCIe Gen3 interface, the performance is more than doubled, and drastically enhances work efficiency.

Diversified optimization technology for stability, durability, and better reliability

It supports Windows TRIM optimization option and Low Density Parity Check Code (LDPC), reducing wearing on SSD during high-speed read/write duties. It also features precise error correction capability, enabling MP44L M.2 PCIe SSD to operate at high speed with stability, durability, and reliability.

Supporting the latest NVMe standards

MP44L M.2 PCIe SSD supports the latest NVMe standards. Through NVM Sets, predictable latency mode (PLM), and the latest read recovery level (RRL) technology, wearing and latency on SSDs is reduced, expanding lifespan effectively.

S.M.A.R.T. monitoring software

The S.M.A.R.T. monitoring software exclusively developed by TEAMGROUP monitors product status at all times. Through fast and easy setting and inspection, it monitors product quality and performance.

Trustworthy and reliable five-year warranty

MP44L M.2 PCIe SSD has been through rigorous testing and quality control procedures. It comes with a five-year warranty to ensure users of product quality.
