TEAMGROUP VULCAN G 512GB 2.5'' SSD Review

Storage/SSD by stefan @ 2020-11-04

The Vulcan G SSD from TEAMGROUP is meant as an upgrade for entry level and mainstream systems, both which still use a regular HDD as a boot drive. Those in question will notice quite a speed boost overall, while the 512GB of storage should be enough for a lot of installations. By using TLC NAND Flash and a DRAMless controller solution, the overall sale price is brought down considerably. The only downside can be considered the fact that if we do write to the drive continuously, the speed will drop eventually after the SLC pseudo-cache has been filled up.

Packaging, A Closer Look

TEAMGROUP has recently launched a storage product for the entry-level segment and to be more exact the VULCAN G series of 2.5’’ SSDs. The product can be purchased with capacities of 512GB or 1TB, come with 3D NAND TLC Flash from Toshiba and packs a 3-year warranty.

It is shipped inside a compact cardboard enclosure with the total storage capacity written on top, together with some features like form factor, supported functions and the fact that it comes with SLC caching:

On the back we will learn about the product specifications, power rating, internal code name but also the product serial number:

After removing the top packaging layer, we will end up with the main product, sitting inside a transparent plastic mold:

The 2.5’’ drive does come with an aluminum chassis and the T-FORCE Gaming logo in the middle; the product logo is also present in the lower right side of the top cover:

On the side, we will observe the mounting holes with threads:

The drive sports the usual SATA Data/Power connectors:
