Product overview

Announced on April 8, 2021 with worldwide availability beginning in May 2021, the T‑FORCE CARDEA A440 Aluminum Heatsink 2TB is Teamgroup’s Gen4 NVMe entry in the CARDEA A440 family built around Phison’s E18 controller and shipped with both an aluminum fin stack and a thin graphene heatsink.Sourceteamgroupinc.com

Positioned as a high_end Gen4 drive, it exists to deliver near‑ceiling PCIe 4.0 speeds while offering flexible cooling for tight slots or open airflow. The 2TB model is rated up to 7,000/6,900 MB/s with 1,400 TBW endurance, uses TLC NAND with a DRAM cache, and fits roles like a fast boot drive, a PC game library, video‑editing scratch, and PS5 expansion when using the graphene heatsink. A notable touch is the inclusion of two heatsinks in the box.Sourceimages.teamgroupinc.com
