We reported yesterday about the WD_BLACK SN8100 (PCIe Gen5) and SN7100 (PCIe Gen4) deals as they are both priced the lowest. There is also a free VPN on offer. You can check those deals out here.
If you do not quite have the budget for those drives but still want a relatively fast drive in 4TB, then Team Group is offering its T-FORCE G50 model at a great price of just $200 with a coupon code (purchase link down below).
Like the SN8100 and SN7100 WD SKUs, the Team Group G50 is also a TLC (triple level cell) NAND flash SSD, and thus the endurance on the T-FORCE SSD is quite good, as it is rated for 2600 TBW (terabytes written). Its MTBF, or Mean Time Between Failure, is claimed at 3,000,000 hours.
However, unlike the WD_BLACK models, the G50 does not have a dedicated DRAM cache (only the G50 Pro SKUs have it) but it is based on NVMe version 1.4 which supports HMB (host memory buffer) technology; thus, the drive can use system memory for caching.
In terms of performance, Team Group promises sequential read and write speeds of up to 5000 MB/s and 4500 MB/s, respectively. However, the firm does not disclose random throughput metrics.
Essentially, compared to the WD_BLACK SN7100 linked above, you miss out on faster speeds, but you are also paying less with this. Either of these drives can be a great choice depending on your budget.
