The Teamgroup MP34 is a solid-state drive in the M.2 2280 form factor, launched in 2019. It is available in capacities ranging from 256 GB to 2 TB. This page reports specifications for the 512 GB variant. With the rest of the system, the Teamgroup MP34 interfaces using a PCI-Express 3.0 x4 connection. The SSD controller is the PS5012-E12-27 from Phison, a DRAM cache chip is available. Teamgroup has installed 64-layer TLC NAND flash on the MP34, the flash chips are made by Kioxia. Please note that this SSD is sold in multiple variants with different NAND flash or controller, which could affect performance, the "Notes" section at the end of this page has more info. To improve write speeds, a pseudo-SLC cache is used, so bursts of incoming writes are absorbed more quickly. The cache is sized at 25 GB, once it is full, writes complete at 650 MB/s. The MP34 is rated for sequential read speeds of up to 3,400 MB/s and 2,000 MB/s write; random IO reaches 450K IOPS for read and 400K for writes.
The SSD's price at launch is unknown. The warranty length is set to three years, which is above average, but shorter than the five years offered by many other vendors. Teamgroup guarantees an endurance rating of 800 TBW, a high value.
