TeamGroup GA Pro 2TB SSD Review: Inefficient PCIe 5.0 Drive with Performance Issues
Key points
- TeamGroup GA Pro 2TB SSD reviewed.
- Exhibits poor efficiency and high temperatures.
- Struggles with low-QD reads and overall performance.
- Rated for up to 10,000/8,500 MB/s sequential speeds.
Performance Shortcomings Identified
The TeamGroup GA Pro 2TB SSD demonstrated significant performance issues in a recent review. While it showed relatively good performance at QD8 and acceptable steady-state write speeds, its overall efficiency was poor, and it ran hot. The drive also exhibited very low scores in several tests and poor low-QD reads.
Struggles to Compete in PCIe 5.0 Class
Despite being a PCIe 5.0 drive with DRAM, the GA Pro struggles to outperform PCIe 4.0 SSDs and does not live up to the performance standards of its own class. The manufacturer is reportedly working on addressing bugs, but the underlying technology is considered dated, limiting potential improvements.
Specifications and Availability
The TeamGroup GA Pro is available in 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB capacities. The 2TB model is currently priced at $331.99. It is rated for sequential read and write speeds of up to 10,000 MB/s and 8,500 MB/s, respectively. The drive includes a five-year warranty and is rated for up to 600 TB of writes per TB of capacity.
Software Support
TeamGroup provides firmware updates and an SSD S.M.A.R.T. TOOL for health monitoring. The company also recommends MultiDrive for backup and cloning on Windows, which is regularly updated based on user feedback.
