We have seen in recent years how SSDs have been increasing in capacity and falling in price significantly. In addition, the M.2 NVMe format has arrived, which offers very good transfer speeds. T-Force, the gaming division of Team Group has just announced the Vulcan G SSD drives. These new drives are based on 3D NAND Flash memory and SLC cache memory.
This drive is in SATA 6Gbps format, which implies limitations in terms of transfer speeds. The M.2 NVMe are better, but the problem with this type of storage unit is the price and the temperature. While the problem with SATA SSDs is that they are limited by a rather outdated port.

According to data provided by T-Force, this Vulcan G drive reaches a read speed of up to 550MB / s and a write speed of up to 500MB / s. This unit offers us a random read speed of 70.000 IOPS and a random write of 60.000 IOPS. Data lower than that offered by an M.2 NVMe, but much lower than a mechanical hard drive.
The Vulcan G supports the SLC cache algorithm, SMART monitoring technology, and the Windows TRIM command. It has an error correction code and a leveling technology to prevent excessive wear and to extend its useful life. Quite interesting elements that guarantee good operation and good performance.
There is little else to highlight about these units, which are quite simple in general. They have the brand logo and the Vulcan G name in silver on a completely black casing. It will arrive in 512GB capacity for $61 and in 1TB capacity for $107 with a 3-year warranty. We see that it arrives quite limited in terms of storage capacities with only two versions.
