TEAMGROUP T-FORCE Z540 Review (2TB) Review

The Teamgroup T-Force Z540 Gen5 M.2 boasts impressive performance due to the blend of Phison PS5026-E26-52, SK Hynix DRAM, and Micron NAND.

We have seen a few Teamgroup SSDs, but the T-Force Z540 is the first Gen5 drive to pass through our lab. This Gen5 M.2 is available in three capacities: 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB.

Most Gen5 SSDs we have seen utilize the Phison PS5026-E26 controller but may differ in their NAND and DRAM usage. The other significant variable for performance is the firmware these manufacturers use on the drives. With these variables at play, it is interesting to see how the drives perform against each other, with identical hardware but using different firmware. That seems to be the case with this drive since the configuration appears to be the same on the Z540
