The TeamGroup CX2 256GB 2.5″ SATA SSD is an entry-level solid-state drive designed for desktops and laptops using the SATA III 6Gb/s interface, offering backward compatibility with SATA II. It features a compact 2.5-inch form factor, making it compatible with most systems.
Performance-wise, it delivers sequential read speeds up to 520 MB/s and write speeds up to 430 MB/s, which significantly improves system responsiveness, boot times, and file transfers compared to traditional HDDs. The SSD uses TLC NAND flash memory and the SMI SM2258XT controller for reliable operation, although it lacks onboard DRAM cache.
It supports an endurance rating of 80 TBW (Terabytes Written), indicating decent durability for typical consumer use. Additional features include wear-leveling and ECC (Error Correction Code) to enhance data integrity and prolong lifespan.
The drive operates reliably across temperatures from 0°C to 70°C, with resistance to shocks and vibrations, and has an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 1,000,000 hours. This SSD is a cost-effective upgrade option for improving overall system performance and reliability, backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
