TEAMGROUP Team Delta R RGB 500GB White SSD

Product Information

The Toshiba/SanDisk BiCS3 64-layer 3D TLC NAND flash used in the HyperX Fury RGB is a much more common sight on our SSD testbed this year, both in NVMe and SATA SSDs. Virtually all drives using Phison controllers are using Toshiba NAND, and this includes Toshiba's own TR200 SATA SSD with the DRAMless Phison S11 controller. The Plextor M8V is a more mainstream drive, pairing the same NAND with the SM2258 controller. The M8V has been scarce at retailers but its OEM counterpart (Liteon CV8) has been used by major OEMs like Dell. To test the drive, we will install it in our system as a secondary drive and run benchmarks programs on an empty drive. Under normal conditions, many users would install their OS on the drive. However, for our tests, we wanted to isolate the hard drive to maximize the performance and reliability of scores. When gamer is installing a non-RGB motherboard, it can be presented through the included USB 2.0 9pin connector. But the other issue to bear in mind is that transfers happen faster on PCIe drives like this one versus SATA drives like the ones mentioned above, meaning less timespan to heat up in the first place. Bottom line: In a worst-case-scenario, you can always turn the drive's RGB off, and end up with a drive no worse than the killer SX8200 Pro: no bad outcome, to be sure.

HyperX is a well-established brand in the PC industry, and their RGB SSD is a great example of their engineering. It comes in a 2.5” SATA III form factor, which allows it to reach speeds of 550 MB/s read and 480 MB/s write. The Marvell controller and 3D NAND flash make the drive durable and power efficient as well. The 240GB capacity makes sure it can hold your operating system, as well as a game or two.The drive uses a whopping 20 programmable RGB LED’s and also a custom diffuser panel to even out the hot spots. The result is nothing short of stunning to behold. In the right lighting, the individual LED’s can become visible, but the diffuser does an excellent job of hiding those pesky hot spots. While the PCIe 5.0 drives are the fastest SSDs money can buy right now, believe it or not, raw speed isn't everything. In regular productivity tasks such as web browsing or light desktop work, you may not even notice the difference between a PCIe 3.0 SSD and one with a 4.0 interface, let alone a new bleeding-edge PCIe 5.0 model. The latest PCIe 5.0 SSDs also carry a heavy price premium for now, so you're probably best suited with a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 model — unless you're after the fastest possible performance money can buy, of course. If that's the case and your system supports it, go for a new PCIe 5.0 SSD. Many kinds of SSDs take advantage of RGB SSD covers to make themselves more attractive for buyers. And, the common ones are below. 1. T-Force Delta RGB SSD The common input devices of the RGB color model include television cameras, video cameras, digital cameras, and image scanners. The typical RGB output devices are various-technology of TV sets (CRT, LCD, OLED, plasma, quantum dots, etc.), computer monitors, mobile screens, video projectors, multicolor LED displays, as well as large screens like Jumbotron. Color printers, however, aren’t RGB devices; they are subtractive color devices of typically CMYK color model instead. Last up is a series of file and folder transfers done in the SSD benchmarking utility AS-SSD. This trio of tests involves copying large files or folders from one location on the test drive to another...

The next important thing is the read and write speeds. This is the actual speed at which you’ll be able to transfer files to and from the SSD and directly translates into performance. With a SATA III drive, you can’t expect more than 600 MB/s throughput. On the other hand, with an NVMe drive, those speeds can go up to 3,500 MB/s. That’s 7 times SATA III’s maximum speed. If your computer supports an NVMe drive, by all means, get one. Storage Capacity First up: The general Storage benchmark run in PCMark 8's test suite, which simulates everyday disk accesses in tasks such as editing photos and web browsing... For a USB 3.2 Gen 1 device, those would be good scores, but this has a Gen 2 interface supposedly. At the current asking price, the Treasure Touch will be competing with drives that can hit 900MB/s or better, and therefore nearly achieving 500MB/s isn’t going to cut it. This is one of the most performant 10 Gbps enclosures and one of the most convenient, thanks to a tool-free design that allows you to slip the cover off by pressing a spring-loaded switch. It's a few dollars more than the Sabrent EC-SNVE at present and we prefer that enclosure's flip-up lid to the Plugble's slide-out one.According to Wikipedia, the RGB color model is an additive color model, in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the color model comes from the initials of the 3 additive primary colors red, green, and blue. For this review, two sets of power measurements are reported for the Fury RGB: the total power draw across both 5V and 12V rails with the LEDs illuminated in their default red color, and the power on just the 5V rail. These two sets of measurements come from the same test runs, so there's only one set of performance numbers. At full brightness, the red LEDs draw about 2.24 W when powered by the SATA power connecter, and this is enough to keep the drive rather warm even when it is idle. With all three color channels illuminated, LED power consumption exceeds 4W but we did not leave it connected to the multimeter long enough for the drive to reach an equilibrium temperature and power draw. (I didn't want to burn out the breadboard I was using to wire things up.)
