Today, July 26, TeamGroup officially introduced to the world its latest N74V-M80 series solid state drive, the main feature of which is a unique cooling system of its kind. The manufacturer on the official website stated that this is the first M.2 drive in the industry, which boasts cooling based on the evaporation chamber – this, according to the company’s developers, will significantly increase the potential of the memory controller and the drive as a whole. So far, there are no full-fledged reviews from independent publications, but this system really looks interesting.
The mechanism of operation of the evaporation chamber is extremely simple – there is a liquid inside the case, which, when heated from a heat source (in this case, the memory controller of a solid state drive), releases steam, and it, in turn, gradually cools, releasing condensate on the walls of the evaporation chamber case. This condensate is re-mixed into the liquid flow, thereby starting a process of constant evaporation inside the element, followed by heat dissipation. This is a much more efficient cooling mode than conventional heatpipe designs that transfer heat to a heatsink.
However, the TeamGroup N74V-M80 developers went even further, combining two cooling options at once – this drive has both an advanced evaporation chamber (the same is found in many modern smartphones) and a regular aluminum radiator with a lot of rather large fins. The creators of the product said that this solution allows you to effectively remove heat from the drive controller and memory chips (although they heat up noticeably less than the controller). And, according to the information from the official website, the model can operate at temperatures from -40 to +85 ° C, which is actually excellent – there is a reserve for enthusiasts.
The rest of the characteristics of the drive are quite standard – the manufacturer uses 3D TLC memory chips with a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface according to the NVMe 1.3 specification. Accordingly, the novelty will not show any records in terms of data transfer – when reading, the maximum speed is 3445 MB / s, while writing – 2520 MB / s. In addition, the potential buyer receives only three memory options – 128, 256 and 512 GB. Why such advanced cooling technology is not installed on the flagship SSD is an open question.
