TEAMGROUP T-FORCE DELTA MAX ARGB 1TB with Dram Cache 3D NAND TLC 2.5" SATA III Internal SSD (R/W Speed up to 560/510 MB/s)T253TM001T3C302

I'm currently using two of these in a non-raid SATA 3 connection as the data banks for a custom build. 2 TB isn't much for this feature, so a future upgrade will be large HDDs as the main media tanks while the SDDs will provide speedy access to the system for media manipulation in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite and perhaps DaVinci Resolve as well.What's nice about these SSDs is that they are able to provide both features simultaneously for the time being. In fact, one could conceivably use them in this manner indefinitely (well, for the read/write life of the SSD, anyway) if one has no need to archive media - eg: as a revenue system where client media has no expectation of life after final delivery of the product.These are not installed as a RAID; usually that makes sense for HDDs in which the RAID configuration offers a significant speed advantage. SSDs are usually faster out of the box than RAID'd HDDs. That said, there may be applications where configuring these as a RAID might still have an advantage. Still, Windows recognizes both drives as a single unit: while these are not in a RAID per se, they are set up to be similar to a RAID in that they appear to Windows as a single drive. This was a straight-forward option during mounting in the Disk Management application. That was the only connection surprise, but it is a pleasant one (ok, last time I built a system, HDDs were still all the rage).Team Group has other SSDs that do not feature RGB - and they have other RGB options as well. These had such a cool look, and since the case they're installed in has a built in RGB driver (these are also fully compatible with most motherboard LED schemes), I went ahead and went with this RGB option. I have seen no other offerings from any other manufacturer that have so unique an appearance. Somehow Team Group managed to create a "subdued" LED theme (not dim, subdued. There's a distinction). Subdued and LED are both an oxymoron of each other, yet Team Group pulled it off leaving a look that is classic rather than clown. These however have a very striking look even with the system off. Sans LED light, they have a really slick black mirror finish (caveat: leave the plastic film on the surface all the way through assembly, and only remove it when the glass panel is being installed for the last time prior to putting the new system into service). The best part; LED lighting aside, these have performance specs rivaling better known competition and in some cases have a better wear leveling scheme.I would like to see an option for drives in this model greater than 1TB, perhaps Team Group will work on this for future versions. These are however working very nicely and I am happy with their performance as well as appearance. Presuming they remain functioning to specs for a reasonably acceptable period, I would buy them again.

I was hesitant because I do not like over the top RGB but I do like it. The micro usb could have been done a little different as I had clearance issues against my moba. It performs as advertised but a little on the toasty side but not performance hindering. It looks great with my setup.

Great rgb Lighting and adds flair to any pc build..solid performance for the price overall a solid product

So I've had it for about 4 months now.In terms of SSD read and write speeds, it's solid and about what you would expect and is as reported.The RGB is great, controllable and addressable (remember to check your board for compatability!) it's not horribly bright and the important part is the LEDs aren't cooking the memory.

I went on an RGB craze back in August. There was absolutely no way I couldn't include these. The two I bought work great! They were easy to install (because SATA, c'mon!) and I'm pretty happy with my load times. I put them in RAID 0, and no complaints here!

If you care about rgb then this is the ssd for you. Havent had any problems out of it I needed an extra ssd for game addons so I decided to pick this up

Absolutely perfect for an all RGB build. Mounted the drives to the PSU shield and they run very well.

The wire mess is cleaned up just a picture to show the awesome purplish tint. I liked the original color so much I didn’t even use the RGB. One downside is there are no mounting holes on the side of the drive. I used double sided gorilla tape to secure them to the cages.
