Team Group NV5000 TM8FGM500G0C101 500GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe internal SSD

500GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive with heatsink

The Team Group NV5000 is a 500GB M.2 2280 solid-state drive built for consumer PCs and laptops. It connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 lane using the NVMe protocol. A factory-fitted heatsink covers the controller and NAND to help manage thermals under load. The drive uses host memory buffer technology instead of onboard DRAM.

Heatsink and HMB change thermal behaviour and cost

The included heatsink adds 3.70mm of height, so the module fits tighter bays without extra parts. Host memory buffer uses a portion of system RAM for mapping tables, which lowers component cost while keeping sequential reads up to 4500 MBps and writes up to 1800 MBps. Endurance is rated at 320TBW with a 2,000,000 hour MTBF.

Suits compact builds needing PCIe 4.0 speeds

This drive suits small-form-factor desktops and thin laptops that have an M.2 slot keyed for PCIe 4.0 and enough clearance for the heatsink. Users who need sustained heavy write workloads or hardware encryption should consider drives with dedicated DRAM cache and higher TBW ratings.
