Team Group Unveils MP33 SSDs: Entry-Level PCIe Drives
 

Team Group has introduced its new family of NVMe SSDs aimed at the budget PC market. The new MP33 drives use controllers from Silicon Motion and Phison and will be available in 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB configuration.

Team Group’s MP33 SSDs are based on Silicon Motion’s SM2263XT or Phison PS5013-E13T controller as well as 3D TLC NAND memory from Intel or Toshiba. Using different controllers and memory from different suppliers within one family of drives enables the manufacturer to offer the most competitive prices for all configurations, however the actual performance is likely to differ, making this a difficult product to qualify as users will never know which configuration they are buying.

The MP33 drives from Team Group come in the M.2-2280 form-factor and feature a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface. When it comes to performance, the SSDs feature up to 1800 MB/s sequential read speed, up to 1500 MB/s sequential write speed, up to 220K random read IOPS, as well as up to 200K random write IOPS.
