TeamGroup MP44 (PCIe 4.0 NVMe/7,400 MB/s Read/7,000 MB/s Write/Non-Gaming-Branded Performance Line) Review

The TeamGroup MP44 sits outside TeamGroup's T-Force gaming sub-brand, offered under the plain TeamGroup name as a mainstream top-tier PCIe 4.0 drive for buyers who don't care about RGB or gamer styling.

The specs are essentially flagship Gen 4 territory at 7,400 MB/s, and dropping the gaming branding sometimes means a more conservative, professional-looking heatsink design and occasionally sharper pricing than the equivalent T-Force Cardea model.

Performance and Speed

7,400 MB/s read and 7,000 MB/s write matches the top tier of PCIe 4.0 performance, on par with TeamGroup's own gaming-branded Cardea A440. The write speed sitting close to the read speed points to a strong DRAM cache and generous SLC buffer.

Non-Gaming Branding

TeamGroup sells parallel product lines under both its T-Force gaming sub-brand and the plain TeamGroup name, with the MP44 falling into the latter. The underlying hardware philosophy is similar, just without RGB lighting or aggressive styling, which suits workstation builds or anyone who finds gaming aesthetics distracting.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against TeamGroup's own T-Force Cardea A440, also covered on this site, both hit similar top-tier Gen 4 speeds, with the Cardea adding RGB lighting for a styling premium the MP44 skips. Against the Kingston FURY Renegade, also covered on this site, both compete in the same flagship Gen 4 bracket and the choice usually comes down to price or brand preference.

Who This SSD Is Actually For

Workstation or professional builds wanting top-tier Gen 4 speed without gaming-focused styling.

Buyers who find the MP44 priced below TeamGroup's own gaming-branded Cardea A440 for similar performance.

Not for anyone who specifically wants RGB lighting on their storage. TeamGroup's own T-Force Cardea A440, covered elsewhere on this site, adds that at a similar performance tier.
