Cardea Z540 SSD Revolutionizes Storage

At the forefront of consumer non-volatile storage, this premium PCIe 5.0, or Gen 5, SSD is made for enthusiasts who want to use the maximum bandwidth for gaming, content production, and other uses

The Z540 is one of the newest models in this early adopter platform’s ongoing fine-tuning and optimization

While still rather fast, several of the first-generation 10 GB/s Gen 5 SSDs they examined were a touch underwhelming

Nevertheless, this advancement in NAND flash technology is required to create better “value” drives; also, enthusiasts who are always on the cutting edge

The Teamgroup Cardea Z540, sometimes known as Team Z540, is presently offered in 1TB and 2TB capacities; a 4TB SKU is anticipated at a later time. With the exception of the Crucial T700

With an SSD controller, a DRAM package, and two NAND packages on top, the Z540 is a double-sided device

There are two more NAND packages on the rear, but no DRAM For more details visit on govindhtech.com

Compared to the Samsung 990 Pro, which is single-sided with DRAM and two NAND packages even at 4TB, this arrangement is standard, but it feels incredibly antiquated
