Product identity

The Team Group CARDEA Z540 is a 1TB M.2 2280 internal SSD built for consumer systems that support PCIe Gen5x4 and NVMe 2.0. It uses 3D NAND and a 1GB DRAM cache to deliver sequential reads up to 11700 MBps and writes up to 9500 MBps. The drive is rated for 600TB written and 1,700,000 hours MTBF.

Graphene heatsink benefit

A patented graphene heatsink is integrated onto the drive to dissipate heat without adding bulk. This allows the controller and NAND to sustain high throughput during extended workloads while keeping the module within the 0°C to 70°C operating range. No extra cooling hardware is required from the user.

Platform checklist

Verify that your motherboard has an M.2 slot wired for PCIe Gen5x4 and that the BIOS supports NVMe 2.0 boot drives. The module measures 22.00mm wide by 80.00mm long by 3.70mm high and weighs 13.00g, so confirm clearance around the slot. Supported operating systems include Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, macOS 10.4 or later, and Linux kernel 2.6.33 or later.

Questions about this item

How long before the 1TB 3D NAND reaches its 600TB write limit?

The drive is rated for 600TBW; at 1TB per day that equals roughly 600 days before the warranty endurance ceiling is reached.

What stops the PCIe Gen5x4 NVMe 2.0 controller from holding its 11700 MBps read speed during long sessions?

The graphene heatsink and intelligent thermal conditioning keep the controller within its 0°C to 70°C operating range so throttling only begins if that ceiling is exceeded.

How hot and loud does the TM8FF1001T0C129 get when it runs all day?

The patented graphene heatsink is silent and maintains the drive inside the 0°C to 70°C spec; no fan means zero acoustic output.
