Up to 1,600 MB/s Read Speed

The TEAMGROUP MP33 takes advantage of the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface to deliver substantially faster performance than conventional SATA SSDs.

Performance

• Sequential Read: Up to 1,600 MB/s
• Sequential Write: Up to 1,000 MB/s
• Interface: PCIe Gen3 x4
• Protocol: NVMe 1.3

This performance can improve:

• Windows startup
• Application loading
• Game loading
• File transfers
• Software installation
• General system responsiveness

Actual performance varies depending on system hardware, capacity, workload, and operating conditions.

256GB Storage Capacity

The 256GB capacity is suitable for users who need a fast primary system drive or additional high-speed storage.

It can be used for:

• Windows operating system
• Essential applications
• Productivity software
• Games
• Documents
• Photos
• Frequently accessed files
• General PC storage

Actual usable formatted capacity will be lower than the advertised 256GB.

PCIe 3.0 x4 Interface

The MP33 uses a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface, providing considerably more bandwidth than the SATA III interface used by traditional 2.5-inch SSDs.

This makes it suitable for:

• PC upgrades
• Laptop upgrades
• Gaming PCs
• Productivity systems
• Everyday computing
• Fast boot drives

A compatible M.2 slot supporting PCIe/NVMe SSDs is required.

NVMe 1.3

The drive supports the NVMe 1.3 protocol, which is designed specifically for high-speed PCIe solid-state storage.

NVMe provides advantages such as:

• Reduced storage latency
• Faster command processing
• Improved responsiveness
• Efficient PCIe communication
• Better performance than legacy SATA/AHCI storage

M.2 2280 Form Factor

The TEAMGROUP MP33 uses the common M.2 2280 form factor.

Form Factor

• Width: 22 mm
• Length: 80 mm
• Type: M.2 2280

Its compact design eliminates the need for SATA data and power cables when installed in a compatible motherboard or laptop M.2 slot.

SLC Caching Technology

The MP33 utilizes SLC caching technology to improve performance during common storage workloads.

Benefits can include:

• Faster file transfers
• Improved write responsiveness
• Better application performance
• Faster everyday workloads

Sustained write performance can decrease after the available cache is exhausted.

S.M.A.R.T. & TRIM Support

The drive supports important SSD management technologies including:

S.M.A.R.T.

Allows compatible software to monitor drive health and operating information.

TRIM

Helps the SSD efficiently manage unused storage blocks and maintain performance over time.

Ideal for PC & Laptop Upgrades

The TEAMGROUP MP33 is a practical upgrade for compatible computers still using:

• Traditional hard drives
• SATA SSDs
• Older low-performance storage

Potential improvements include:

• Faster boot times
• Quicker application loading
• Faster game loading
• Improved file transfers
• More responsive everyday computing

For Gaming

The MP33 can be used as an affordable NVMe storage option for gaming PCs.

Benefits include:

• Faster game loading than HDD storage
• Faster installation and update operations
• Reduced file-transfer times
• Compact installation
• No additional SATA cables required

The 256GB capacity, however, is better suited to a smaller game library or use alongside a larger secondary drive.

NVMe vs SATA SSD

The MP33 uses PCIe NVMe rather than the SATA interface found on conventional 2.5-inch SSDs.

TEAMGROUP MP33

• PCIe 3.0 x4
• NVMe 1.3
• Up to 1,600 MB/s read
• Up to 1,000 MB/s write
• M.2 2280

Typical SATA III SSD

• SATA III interface
• Usually limited to around 550 MB/s
• 2.5-inch or M.2 SATA form factor

This gives the MP33 significantly higher sequential transfer performance than typical SATA SSDs.
