Introduction

Team Group is a well-known Taiwanese hardware manufacturer with a long history of catering to the needs of enthusiasts and gamers from all over the globe. Their lineup includes DRAM memory and solid-state drives, and they also offer various memory cards and USB thumb drives.



Today we're taking a look at the Team Group MP44L SSD, which has been available since earlier this year. This value-oriented drive is built using 176-layer 3D TLC NAND flash from Micron, paired with the four-channel Phison E21 controller that we've seen on the Corsair MP600 GS before. Since this is a cost-optimized design, a DRAM cache is not included.

The Team Group MP44L is available in capacities of 250 GB ($29), 500 GB ($30), 1 TB ($43) and 2 TB ($88). Endurance for these models is set to 200 TBW, 300 TBW, 600 TBW and 1200 TBW, respectively. Team Group includes a five-year warranty with the MP44L.
