TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA ZERO Z330 and Z340 M.2 SSDs announced
TEAMGROUP has just announced two new M.2 PCIe SSDs, the T-FORCE CARDEA ZERO-Z330 and ZERO-Z340. Both drives support the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and the NVMe 1.3 standard, which is pretty much the standard nowadays.
What sets the T-FORCE CARDEA ZERO Z330 and ZERO Z340 apart from the competition are their patented graphene copper foil cooling module. In their internal testing, the graphene copper foil helped keep the drives up to 9% cooler over three hours of continuous reading and writing files.
While both drives feature similar graphene copper cooling, the T-FORCE CARDEA ZERO-Z340 is the faster of the duo. TEAMGROUP has designed the drives to cater to different needs, and different budgets as well. Check out the specifications and pricing of the T-FORCE CARDEA ZERO Z330 and ZERO Z340 below:

Pokdepinion: I wonder how long will it actually take to finish up 1665TBW…
