Team Group at its Computex 2018 booth showed off its latest performance-segment M.2 NVMe solid-state drive, the T-Force Cardea S. You won't be faulted for confusing this with the original Cardea launched last year. The Cardea S is a mid-range drive, with PCI-Express 3.0 x2 interface. It's based on the Phison PS5008-E8 controller, mated to 10 nm-class 3D TLC NAND flash memory, and comes in 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB capacities. The controller takes advantage of the NVMe 1.3 protocol. The drive is designed to max out performance from this controller, and offers sequential speeds of up to 1600 MB/s reads, with up to 1100 MB/s writes, and up to 280,000 IOPS 4K random access performance. Since the controller runs a lot cooler than the E7 controller of the original Cardea, the drive makes do with a much lighter heatsink.
