Jumping on the superfast bandwagon. Remember the days of mechanical storage? The clickety-clack of heads moving over platters is a long-distant memory for many, replaced by speedier solid-state storage (SSDs). The latest iteration of SSDs, primed for leading AMD platforms, are built on a PCIe 4.0 interface and promise breathtaking sequential read and write speeds in excess of 4GB/s.

The familiar recipe for any vendor looking to play in this field is to pair the ubiquitous Phison PS5016-E16 controller with some tasty 96-layer 3D TLC NAND, presented together on an M.2 form factor. Arguably more popular for its range of DRAM and basic SSDs, TeamGroup has duly taken advantage of cutting-edge technology to release such a drive. Enter the T-Force Cardea Zero Z440.
