Top specs

  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    SATA III

    Modern hard drive connection standard.

    The majority of SSD hard drives use this standard. The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Description

Description

The EX2 by TeamGroup is an SSD hard drive with a size of 2.5'', making it ideal for replacing and upgrading the hard drive in a laptop, and also an economical choice for a desktop. It supports the SATA III communication protocol, which offers fast speeds and is compatible with the vast majority of motherboards.

For installation in a desktop computer, you will need a SATA III data cable and an available SATA port on the motherboard. Additionally, a power supply cable for a SATA device from the power supply is required. For installation in a laptop, no cables are needed, and the SSD simply plugs into the SATA slot.

Speeds

With sequential transfer performance of 550 MB/s in read speed and up to 520 MB/s in write speed, even small files can operate with high efficiency.

Windows TRIM

Supports the Windows TRIM optimization command, which is able to freely release blocks, allowing the operating system to use them immediately when writing data. This can accelerate the read/write performance of the SSD and also effectively reduces performance degradation, keeping the performance in perfect operation.

Reliability

The powerful Wear-Leveling technology and the ECC (Error Correction Code) function enhance data transfer reliability and extend the lifespan of the solid-state drive.

    Certainly not the best SSD available (especially when compared to m.2), but quite reliable in its category for its price. (Check the TBW and MTBF. I got the 512GB for around €30 and the 1TB for around €60. Generally, it's worth it at that price point and lower, otherwise it's a waste with today's prices.)

    I made a change to the internal disk of my PS4 Pro as the stock disk started to require Rebuilding Database and I was afraid it might give up and lose everything.

    After researching, I concluded that any SSD would be an upgrade compared to the stock one. It really improved the speed, both in loading and in the responsiveness of the main menu.

    You don't need to spend 80-90 euros to change the disk. This one here cost 59 (1 TB) and does exactly the same job.

    I bought it (72€ - Black Friday) for secondary use (installation and running games)... It turned out to be quite fast, convenient, and reliable for its price.
