The 2TB version of the MP44Q has a declared maximum bandwidth of up to 7,000 MB/s for sequential reads and up to 5,900 MB/s for writes. These numbers, although still high, are no longer as impressive. PCIe 5.0 SSDs raised the bar, but the users’ experience didn’t change so significantly.
The SSD utilizes the Maxio MAP1602 controller and 3D QLC NAND, making it relatively affordable and one of the least expensive SSDs per GB of capacity. Many readers likely wish to see a TLC NAND, which has a higher TBW factor; however, the MP44Q still has a higher TBW than most competitive QLC SSDs – up to 1000 TB per 2TB version.
The SSD arrived after undergoing internal tests, with a 4-hour counter and 3.785 GB written, and was still in perfect condition. Below is a screenshot of CrystalDiskInfo after some tests.
When we received it, the SSD’s firmware was up to date. TEAMGROUP provides a handy tool that checks S.M.A.R.T. status and offers additional diagnostic options.
The idle temperature is around 35°C, which is expected for this type of SSD. We observed temperatures of around 65°C during high load without additional airflow. It means it’s still far from the thermal throttling point, which is around 75°C. TEAMGROUP offers a graphene heatsink, which effectively lowers the temperature, although its impact is less significant than the marketing slides suggest. It’s still better than a regular label.
