Advanced SLC Caching technology. 4 times faster
The advanced SLC Caching algorithm technology makes its read/write speed easily 4 times[1] faster than traditional hard drives.
A must-have upgrade to keep up with the times
Different from traditional mechanical hard drive, the CX2 with innovative and bold design uses FLASH technology with low power consumption and high-speed transfer features. It is the best choice for replacing traditional hard drives.
Shock and drop resistant for safe use.
Quiet and lightweight
CX2 Solid state drives are shock and drop resistant (1500G/0.5ms) and do not make annoying mechanical noises. It can also effectively avoid computer crash due to kicking.
Wear-Leveling prolongs the service life greatly
The powerful Wear-Leveling technology and ECC (Error Correction Code) function enhance the reliability of data transfer and prolong the service life of the SSD.

[1] The speed was tested by TEAMGROUP and for the reference only.
[1] 1GB= 1.000,000.000 Bytes. In OS system, it would be displayed as 1,000,000,000 Bytes/1024/1024/1024= 0.93GB
[2] Definition and conditions of TBW (Terabytes Written) are based on JEDEC standard
[3] Transmission speed will vary according to different hardware/software conditions, therefore the data can only use for basic reference.

Pros: - Makes dirt look expensive, ESPECIALLY when this is on sale - Reads better than a Samsung 860 EVO SSD (The Team Group SSD is the Benchmark with the "A: 47%" on top) - The cache appears to exist (I haven't bothered to disassemble it yet, but performance-wise it acts like it has one) - Write speed seems pretty consistent until the cache runs out, (unlike my Samsung 860 EVO which declines in speed linearly for some reason) - Has by far the coolest front cover I have seen on an SSD so far
Cons: - Arrived 2 days late for me, but my local post office also held it idly for a week straight; I assume Newegg/the seller had nothing to do with it, so I won't take off for it. - Its cache is a little on the small side judging by how little data is needed to slow it down - No Mounting brackets or screws, you only get the SSD
Overall Review: Now, I'm no SSD expert, so I can't vouch for the benchmarks entirely, but I hope that what settings I used are sufficient enough for everyone. Value-wise this SSD blows other SSDs out of the water. It's amazing for a person who's getting their first SSD or just on a tight budget, and it's not half bad when running a game or working as a boot drive. Just make sure you have some mounting screws and/or a bracket already at home so you can actually mount it.
