Consistent SATA III Performance
This drive uses the Serial ATA III interface with a 6 Gbit/s data transfer rate. It delivers read speeds up to 550 MB/s and write speeds up to 480 MB/s. These speeds are standard for SATA-based SSDs. They provide a noticeable uplift for systems still using mechanical hard drives. For example, boot times and application loading will be faster.
However, it is important to note this is not an NVMe drive. It will not achieve the higher speeds of PCIe-based SSDs. This is a limitation of the SATA III interface itself. The performance is optimal for its intended use case.
Advanced Drive Management Features
The MS30 supports several key technologies for drive longevity. It includes TRIM support, which helps maintain consistent write performance over time. S.M.A.R.T. support allows for self-monitoring of the drive’s health. These features are managed by the controller.
Furthermore, the drive supports garbage collection and wear leveling. These functions help distribute data writes evenly. This can contribute to a longer operational life. The MTBF is rated at 1,500,000 hours.
Compact M.2 Form Factor Benefits
The drive measures 22 mm in width and 80 mm in depth. It is a slim M.2 2280 module, only 3.5 mm thick. This compact size is ideal for modern laptops and small form factor PCs. It fits into tight spaces where a 2.5-inch drive cannot.
Its low weight of 10 grams places minimal stress on system connectors. This makes it suitable for portable devices. Always verify your motherboard or laptop has a compatible M.2 SATA (M or B+M key) slot. This drive does not use the faster NVMe protocol.
Robust Operating Parameters
The Team Group MS30 is built for a range of environments. It operates reliably between 0 °C and 70 °C. For storage, it can withstand temperatures from -40 °C to 80 °C. It also tolerates operating humidity up to 90%.
The drive is rated for 500 G of operating shock and 20 G of vibration. This durability is important for mobile use. It helps protect your data during transport or in less stable environments. The operating voltage is a standard 3.3 V.
