Performance
The performance has been tested on the AMD Ryzen platform that contains the Ryzen 9 7950X, 16-core processor, ASUS Crosshair X670E Gene motherboard, ADATA Lancer Mera Edition 32GB DDR5-7200@6200 memory kit, and Acer Predator GM7000 2TB M.2 SSD with installed Win11 Pro x64 as OS drive. All tests were performed on the TEAMGROUP MP44 1TB SSD.
Let’s begin as usual with the ATTO Disk Benchmark.
Results in ATTO benchmarks are always slightly lower than expected, so nearly 7GB/s is a very satisfying result. It’s one of the best results for PCIe 4.0 SSD. Not the highest, but not far from the top.
In CrystalDiskMark, all results are above the declared in the MP44 specifications. Sequential read and write are slightly higher – 50-70MB/s, while a very pleasant surprise is maximum IOPS. TEAMGROUP declares 650k; we see over 1000k in tests! It’s as high, if not higher, than most high series SSD with DRAM.
In PCMark 10, the results are also fantastic. Again, maybe not the best, but very high, making the MP44 one of the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSD on the market.
In 3DMark Storage Benchmark, the story repeats, and the performance of our MP44 SSD is one more time very high.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities is a rather old benchmark but is still popular. This benchmark usually shows lower results than the ATTO or the CrystalDiskMark. It doesn’t change the fact that the results are pretty high.
In the end, the AIDA64 Disk Benchmark results in random read and write operations.
Both AIDA64 tests take over 40 minutes, so they are pretty demanding. In both tests, there was no throttling, and as I mentioned before, the MP44 SSD wasn’t passing 50°C. It’s amazing, considering such a high performance.
AIDA64 tests present random read and write, so we can’t count on 7GB/s+, but it’s clear that an average of about 2GB/s is still spectacular.
The MP44 isn’t the fastest SSD on the market, but it wasn’t designed to break world records. It has other advantages which many users appreciate even more than a slightly higher bandwidth. Even if we compare it to the fastest PCIe 4.0 SSD on the market, then it’s not so big a difference.
