SSD-levy Team Group 1 TB M.2 PCI Express 4.0 NVMe Z44A5

The Team Group Z44A5 1 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD delivers high-speed storage in a slim M.2 form factor designed for modern desktops and notebooks. With PCIe 4.0 performance and 3D NAND technology, this drive balances fast data transfer, sustained operation stability and durability for gaming and professional workloads.

Advantages

The Z44A5 offers up to 5000 MB/s sequential read performance and comes in three speed tiers to match different performance needs. It features Team Group’s patented graphene heatsink for improved heat dissipation and stable system operation, a sub-1 mm profile suitable for notebook upgrades, an intelligent management suite (GC, TRIM, LDPC, E2E) that extends drive life and protects data, and a patented S.M.A.R.T. monitoring tool for continuous health checks. The manufacturing and packaging comply with RoHS and use recyclable materials.

Suitable for

• High-performance gaming PCs and consoles that support M.2 PCIe 4.0
• Content creation and professional workloads requiring fast sequential reads and responsive storage
• Notebook capacity upgrades where low profile and thermal control are necessary

Key specifications

• Form factor: M.2
• Interface: PCIe 4.0 NVMe
• Capacity: 1 TB
• Maximum sequential read: up to 5000 MB/s (Z44A5 model)
• 3D NAND technology
• Integrated graphene heatsink with sub-1 mm profile for notebook compatibility
• Weight: approximately 0.007 kg

How to use

Install the M.2 PCIe NVMe drive into an available M.2 slot on a compatible motherboard or notebook following the device and system manufacturer instructions. Ensure the system supports PCIe 4.0 to achieve peak performance; otherwise the drive will operate at the highest supported PCIe version. After physical installation, initialize and format the drive in the operating system, install any recommended S.M.A.R.T. monitoring software from Team Group to enable health checks, and migrate or install the operating system and applications as needed.

Recommendations

For sustained high performance, ensure adequate chassis airflow and enable the drive’s S.M.A.R.T. monitoring. Use the appropriate heatsink orientation and avoid mechanical interference in tight notebook compartments to maintain thermal efficiency and long-term reliability.
