T-FORCE CARDEA Z44Q PCIe4.0 SSD is equipped with two patented cooling modules that gamers can freely interchange between. The patented high-strength aluminum heat sink (Taiwan Patent: M541645) can multiply cooling effects while the patented ultra-thin grapheme heat sink (Taiwan Patent: I703921; China Patent: CN 211019739 U) has an ultra-light volume for easy assembly and low interference. Both cooling modules are effective in cooling the SSD, making it a great addition to PCIe SSD for cooling and performance.
The T-FORCE CARDEA Z44Q has an MSRP of US$350 for 2TB capacity and US$690 for 4TB capacity drives. More information on the range can be found at the product page.
This model is a slimmed-down and more mainstream sibling to the CARDEA A440, a high performance model that offers speeds up to 7000/6900 MB/s read/write in capacities up to 2TB.
