There’s a new speed demon on the horizon as TEAMGROUP announces its latest NVMe drive capable of read speeds up to 14,000 MB/s. The T-FORCE GE PRO is a M.2 2880 Gen5 NVMe SSD that uses a multi-core controller and is cooled by a thin graphene heat sink. InnoGrit’s new 12nm low wattage/low power consumption IG5666 controller, combined with smart power management and thermal monitoring, allows the drive to reach high speeds without the need for more aggressive cooling measures. This in turn also enables builders to have more options since they do not have to accommodate the larger heat sinks and fans seen on some other more recent PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 drives.
The T-FORCE GE PRO comes with an additional security measure as well called “Security Isolation” that can help prevent data from being stolen by an external attack. TEAMGROUP’s S.M.A.R.T. monitoring software is there to assist users in staying up to date with the drive’s health and performance and a new technique called 4K LDPC, Low-Density Parity-Check Code, is used for data error correction and data transfer accuracy. TEAMGROUP has said that the T-FORCE GE PRO will be available for pre-order on Amazon on February 9 but has not released pricing, storage capacity, other specifications, or launch info in its announcement.
TEAMGROUP Press Release (via Newsroom):
T-FORCE, the gaming brand of Team Group Inc., the world’s leading memory and storage provider, today announced the release of the new generation of Gen 5 SSDs, the T-FORCE GE PRO PCIe 5.0 SSDs. This much-anticipated SSD is powered by InnoGrit’s newest 12nm, multi-core, and low-wattage IG5666 controller, equipped with a patented ultra-thin graphene heat sink and has read speeds of up to 14,000 MB/s. Supported by smart cooling and state-of-the-art error correction technologies, the T-FORCE GE PRO PCIe 5.0 SSD provides gamers with the next level of peak performance.
The T-FORCE GE PRO PCIe 5.0 SSD features InnoGrit’s latest 12nm, IG5666 controller, which has multiple cores and low power consumption. The SSD’s read speed maxes out at 14,000 MB/s, and equipped with an enhanced controller feature called Security Isolation that utilizes isolation technology to protect data from external attacks, providing a reliable, multi-faceted defense. The GE PRO SSD also supports smart power management and thermal regulation technology, which detects different workload conditions through internal temperature sensing and automatically adjusts the power management mode to prevent overheating. The T-FORCE GE PRO PCIe 5.0 SSD enhances data transfer accuracy by correcting data errors with the brand new 4K LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check Code) technology. It also supports TEAMGROUP’s patented S.M.A.R.T. monitoring software, allowing gamers to monitor the health and performance of the SSD at any time.
