TeamGroup T-Force Z540 (4TB) and Dark AirFlow I – PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD
The TeamGroup T-Force Z540 is a high-speed PCIe Gen5 SSD, designed with gamers and high-performance enthusiasts in mind. Available in a 2TB variant, it boasts impressive sequential read and write speeds, achieving up to 12.39 GB/s in read speed and 11.8 GB/s in write speed on CrystalDiskMark. This performance puts it among the top competitors in the Gen5 market, rivaling models like the Corsair MP700 Pro SE and the Crucial T700.
The TeamGroup T-Force Dark AirFlow I is a specialized SSD heatsink designed to optimize cooling for PCIe Gen 5 SSDs, such as the T-Force Z540. Its construction includes dual copper heat pipes and a patented graphene layer, which enhances heat dissipation. A significant feature of this model is its small but effective 30mm fan, which uses a 4-pin PWM connector, allowing for adjustable fan speeds to balance between noise and cooling performance. At full speed, the fan generates around 46.8 dB(A), while reducing to approximately 39 dB(A) at 50% speed, offering quieter operation during lighter workloads.
