  • 1400 TBW endurance backed by 3000000 hour MTBF

Capacity and Compatibility

The Team Group T-FORCE CARDEA A440 is a 2TB internal SSD built for consumer workloads. It fits the M.2 2280 slot and connects through a PCIe Gen 4.0 x4 interface using the NVMe 1.4 protocol. The drive is also validated for PlayStation 5 expansion storage.

Thermal Design and Installation

Two patented heat sinks ship in the box: a high-strength aluminium unit with a thermal diversion structure and an ultra-thin graphene sheet. The aluminium sink can lower temperatures by up to 15 percent while the graphene option delivers up to 9 percent reduction. Either sink mounts without clearance interference in tight chassis.

Endurance Rating

The drive is rated for 1400TB written and a 3000000 hour MTBF. Operating temperature spans 0°C to 70°C with storage tolerance from -40°C to 85°C. This endurance figure is the primary metric for deciding if the SSD matches your write-intensive workload.

Questions about this item

Does the drive fit in a PlayStation 5 expansion slot?

The 2280 form factor and Gen 4.0 x4 interface meet the PS5 requirements, and the thin graphene heat sink keeps the height within the console limit.

Will it work in a motherboard that only has PCIe 3.0 M.2 slots?

The drive is backward compatible with PCIe 3.0 ports and will operate at the slot's maximum speed.

How much sustained write workload can the 2TB model handle?

The endurance rating is 1400 TBW, which covers heavy daily writes for the drive's lifetime.
