In our read throughput test the drive peaked at the 8MB block mark with a bandwidth figure of 5,609.75MB/s, quite some way behind the official 7,200MB/s.

Although the tested throughput figure was well short of the official maximum, it was still fast enough to place the drive in the second spot in our results chart, just behind Seagate's FireCuda 530.

In the write throughput test, the drive's performance is somewhat erratic before peaking at the end of the test at 5,947.6MB/s, just shy of the official maximum of 6,000MB/s.

The T-Force Cardea A440 Pro Special Series sits in the top half of the results chart with its score of 5,947.61MB/s, 1,657MB/s faster than the first generation Teamgroup Gen4 drive, the T-Force Cardea Zero Z440.
