The T-Force Z54E comes in an M.2 form factor and is available in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, each equipped with an ultra-thin graphene heatsink for thermal management, with options to pair it with TeamGroup’s liquid or active cooling systems for even better heat dissipation. Performance metrics across the lineup include sequential read speeds of up to 14,900 MB/s for all models, while write speeds reach up to 13,700 MB/s for the 1TB variant and up to 14,000 MB/s for the 2TB and 4TB models. Endurance ratings, measured in terabytes written (TBW), are 600 TBW for the 1TB model, 1200 TBW for the 2TB, and 2400 TBW for the 4TB, reflecting scalability with capacity. The drives emphasize sustainability through eco-friendly production practices, such as the use of halogen-free materials and recyclable packaging, and each model is backed by a 5-year limited warranty.
Although specific pricing and release dates have not been confirmed by TeamGroup, the SSD’s part numbers are listed as TM8FG8001T0C129 for the 1TB, TM8FG8002T0C129 for the 2TB, and TM8FG8004T0C129 for the 4TB. This launch underscores TeamGroup’s focus on pushing the boundaries of PCIe 5.0 technology, offering users enhanced speed and efficiency for demanding applications.
