Product on Review: GC PRO M.2 PCIE SSD
Manufacturer: TEAM GROUP
Street Price: 2TB Model - $200 USD | $350 AUD

TEAMGROUP’s T-FORCE GC PRO 2TB PCIe Gen5 SSD represents a significant leap in storage technology, harnessing the capabilities of the InnoGrit IG5666 controller to deliver exceptional performance. This controller, paired with high-quality 3D TLC NAND flash, enables the GC PRO to achieve sequential read speeds of up to 12,000 MB/s and write speeds nearing 11,000 MB/s, positioning it at the forefront of consumer SSD performance. The drive also features a robust DRAM cache architecture, utilizing two 1GB Hynix DDR4-3200 chips, to ensure responsive data access and maintain high throughput during intensive tasks.

To evaluate the T-FORCE GC PRO's performance and thermal characteristics, we’ll be testing using the T-FORCE Dark Airflow I SSD cooler. This active cooling solution incorporates a single 40mm intelligent PWM fan, dual 5mm copper heat pipes, and multilayered aluminium alloy fins, designed to effectively dissipate heat generated by high-speed SSDs. The inclusion of a patented double-layered graphene heat dissipation structure further enhances thermal management, aiming to prevent thermal throttling during sustained workloads.

This review will provide insights into whether the T-FORCE GC PRO 2TB SSD, when paired with effective thermal management, delivers on its promise of next-generation performance.
