The Teamgroup T-Create Classic PCIe 4.0 DL is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in December 2022. It is available in capacities ranging from 1 TB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 2 TB variant. With the rest of the system, the Teamgroup T-Create Classic PCIe 4.0 DL interfaces using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5021-E21T from Phison, a DRAM cache is not available. Teamgroup has installed 176-layer TLC NAND flash on the T-Create Classic PCIe 4.0 DL, the flash chips are made by Micron. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are processed more quickly. Thanks to support for the fast PCI-Express 4.0 interface, performance is excellent. The T-Create Classic PCIe 4.0 DL is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 4,800 MB/s and 4,400 MB/s write; random IOPS reach up to 525K for reads and 550K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to five years, which is an excellent warranty period. Teamgroup guarantees an endurance rating of 1200 TBW, a typical value for consumer SSDs.
