Teamgroup’s MP44Q- A new host memory buffer (HMB/DRAM-less) SSD reached the top of the performance chart for that category. It is fast and inexpensive for everyday tasks.
However, this is not for the use of extended heavy duty because its QLC Nanda becomes very slow once secondary cash is finished.
What are the characteristics of Teamgroup MP44Q?
The MP44Q is a host memory buffer, NVME/PCIE 4.0 SSD that shipped in 2280 (22 mm wide, 80 mm long) form factor. Nand is a multi-layer QLC (quad-level cell/4-bit), and the controller is a Maxio map-1602A.
The warranty on the MP44Q is five years and the terabytes that can be written are 512Tbw. It is more than 250tbw that we look for QLC Nand SSDs in general, and only a hair of 600TBW is shy that is average for TLC (triple-level cell/3-bit) SSDs. Good.
What is the cost of Teamgroup MP44Q?
Mp44Q is available in $ 52/1TB, $ 102/2TB (test), and $ 207/4TB capabilities. At the time of this writing, they were low prices in low prices.
How fast is Teamgroup MP44Q?
Glad you asked. While the synthetic benchmark number one of the 2TB MP44Q did not reach number one, when jointly pushed the drive to the top PCIE 4.0/HMB spot with solid real -world performance – in our tests.
But as already stated, there is a warning. If you go slightly ahead of 450GB, we write, kicks the native writing rate of QLC and only moves to 100–135Mbps. Yuk.
This also means that the 1TB version would have changed very slowly at the time of writing 450GB and will not come close to the top position in the chart.
Secondary cashing looked dynamic, but only in limited fashion. Once Laden with 450GB of data, later writes 48GB, proceeded at the top speed, but much more than that, and they again fell to the native writing rate.
Note that before writing later I left the drive alone for a whole day, so there was a lot of time for the controller that I would allocate more QLC as secondary cash.
The CrystaldiscMark 8 sequential transfer number of MP44Q is very good, only after lexar nm790. Kingston NV3 and WD SN770, PCIE 4.0/HMB SSDS also proved to be no match in this test.
The MP44Q was solid in all four crystaldiscMark 8 4K tests, making it thanks to NM 790 for overall, the subsequent terrible 4K right performance.
The mp44Q 48GB transfer had a hair from the lexer NM790 – a thematic intent.
However, not up to Kingston NV3 in the 450GB right test, MP44Q shaved anything for a few seconds from the time of Lexer NM790 – it was lost in 48GB transfer for two seconds.
Although CrystaldiscMark number 8 was not breathtaking, the overall performance of MP44Q under most circumstances impressed us. Keep in mind that some users write an SSD 450GB embedded as we do.
Should I buy Teamgroup MP44Q?
If you are not going to write large -scale data regularly, MP44Q will get work, and it will be done for less money, which is something else about anything in the market. The TBW rating is also fantastic for a QLC drive.
But if you write a ton data, look for a fast TLC model with better continuous performance like WD SN770.
How do we test
Drive test currently uses Windows 11, 64-Bit with two Kingston Fury 32GB DDR5 4800MHz module (64GB memory total) on a Z790 (PCIE 4.0/5.0) motherboard/i5-12400 CPU combo. Both 20GBPS USB and Thunderbolt 4 are integrated into the back panels and Intel CPU/GPU graphics are used. The 48GB transfer tests use an IMDISK RAM disc up to 58GB of 64GB of total memory. The 450GB file is also transferred from 2TB Samsung 990 Pro which also runs OS.
Each test is performed on a new NTFS-format and trim drive so that the results are optimal. Note that in general use, as a drive fills, the performance can be reduced due to low nand for secondary cashing, as well as with other factors. This can be less than a factor with the current crop of SSD, which may be rapidly with late generation Nanda.
Cavet: The display number shown applies only to the drive that we were sent and the tested capacity. The SSD performance may be different from the capacity due to more or less chips for the shotgun and reads/writes in the amount of Nanda available for secondary cashing. The sellers also swap components sometimes. If you ever notice a big discrepancy between the performance you experienced and which is WET Report, in every way, tell us.
