CX2 512 GB SATA III SSD

The Team Group CX2 is a 2.5 inch internal solid-state drive with 512 GB capacity and a SATA III interface. It uses 3D NAND flash and operates without a DRAM cache, relying on host memory buffer support. The drive is aimed at consumers who want a straightforward replacement for a mechanical hard drive.

Sustained load with SLC caching

Advanced SLC caching technology accelerates burst transfers, yet the drive delivers maximum sequential reads of 530 MBps and writes of 470 MBps under continued use. Endurance is rated at 120 TB written and a mean time between failures of 1,000,000 hours. Operating temperatures range from 0 °C to 70 °C.

Simple 2.5 inch installation

The standard 2.5 inch form factor fits most laptop and desktop bays using a SATA data and power connection. No DRAM cache means one less component to manage, though systems without host memory buffer support may see lower random performance. Shock resistance of 1500 G protects against drops during handling.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 2.5" SATA SSD draw while running all day?

The CX2 operates on DC +5 V and has no moving parts, so it runs silently and produces less heat than a mechanical hard drive during continuous use.

What cable and port does the 512 GB SATA III drive need to work in my laptop or desktop?

It connects through a standard SATA 3.0 (6 Gb/s) data cable and a 5 V SATA power connector, both of which are already present in most systems with a 2.5" drive bay.

Will the Team Group CX2 512 GB drive work in a motherboard that only has SATA 2.0 ports?

Yes, the SATA Rev. 3.0 interface is backwards compatible with SATA Rev. 2.0, so the SSD will function at the older port's speed.
