System Storage Benchmarks
PCMark 10
We are using PCMark 10’s Full System Drive Storage Benchmark. It outputs an overall score (higher is better) that is derived from the Bandwidth (higher is better) as well as access time (lower is better) results.
In PCMark 10’s full system drive storage benchmark, the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PRO 2TB SSD seems to perform with a score of 2864, which puts it on par with the Lexar NM800 PRO HS 1TB SSD on this graph. This is mostly due to the access times, which this benchmark weighs heavily for its overall final result, and as you will see below, the access time is high on the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PRO 2TB SSD. TEAMGROUP’s own MP44 stands well above the CARDEA A440 PRO here, with an overall score that is 22% higher. However, this benchmark does not take into account every aspect of SSD performance, and as you will see in further tests as we continue, the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PRO 2TB SSD is no slouch.
The average access time test in PCMark 10’s Storage Benchmark shows you a closer look at where things line up. This is where we can see that it is the access time, holding the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PRO 2TB SSD back in this benchmark with 59 microseconds. It’s again on par with the Lexar NM800 PRO HS 1TB SSD for access time, while the TEAMGROUP MP44 just simply has a much faster access time. 
In the above graph, we are testing PCMark 10’s Quick Storage Benchmark, which utilizes a lighter workload of traces meant for smaller drives, it provides an interesting contrast to the wide-ranging test of the full benchmark above. The same kind of result is experienced in PCMark 10’s quick system drive benchmar, where the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PRO 2TB SSD scores 3046 putting it on par here with the Netac NV7000-t 1TB SSD. The TEAMGROUP MP44 in this test is only about 4% faster, the numbers really are very close in this benchmark, so while the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PRO 2TB SSD sits at the bottom, the actual differences in numbers is very small, under 5%.
PassMark PerformanceTEST
We are using PassMark’s PerformanceTEST Disk Mark benchmark only. This test benchmarks Disk Sequential Read, Disk Sequential Write, IOPS 32KQD20, IOPS 4KQD1 tests and outputs an overall score (higher is better.)
Now, in PassMark PerformanceTEST we really see the opposite as we did in PCMark 10. Here the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PRO 2TB SSD is at the top of the charts, beating all other Gen4 SSDs in performance, and this is mainly down to its random read/write performance. In this benchmark, it puts some weight on random performance, and the TEAMGROUP T-FORCE CARDEA A440 PRO 2TB SSD is able to step out ahead a bit more here. At 54989 for the overall score it is 13% faster than the next fastest SSD, the addlink S95 2TB SSD.
