Today, I will be taking a look at the Teamgroup T-Force Delta R RGB 500 GB SSD which as the name suggests is an SSD with RGB Lighting.
TeamGroup is the creator of some of the most high-quality memory products for the PC industry. They have come a long way since their inception in 1997 and went on to become one of the fastest growing product manufacturers and a leading brand around the globe.
Since the arrival of DDR4 memory in the mainstream market, Teamgroup started a separate line of DIMM kits under their new T-Force brand. The T-Force brand is the more enthusiast and gamer aimed memory series with a sheer focus towards quality and performance. Today, I will be testing one of T-Force’s new XCALIBUR RGB series memory kit, the latest in their T-Force gaming series arsenal and see how it holds up in against similar priced and similar specs memory kits.

The SSDs are based on the 2.5″ SSD form factor and features a 32-layer TLC-based 3D NAND flash (Micron 384Gb) which offers larger capacities, better performance, and slightly lower power input when compared to Teamgroup’s previous offerings. Team group is using the mainstream Silicon Motion controller which is labeled as SM2258.
Furthermore, these SSDs are priced slightly above the premium offerings but come are aiming the mainstream market given their rated endurance rate and transfer speeds. What this means is that these products will be great for consumers on the desktop platform who want to show off that LED lighting through the Luminous RGB system implemented within Delta R RGB series.
In terms of performance, the Delta R RGB 500 GB has sequential read speeds of 560 MB/s and write speeds of 500 MB/s which are standard for a 2.5″ SSD. The Random read speeds of these drives are up to 90K IOPS and write is 80K IOPS. The SSDs are powered through a SATA connector and have a voltage of 5V (DC).
The endurance of the lineup is rated at 1,000,000 hours which should last a good amount of time with these drives. You are also looking at a 3-year limited warranty through the entire lineup.
The T-Force Delta R RGB SSD comes in a small package. The front of the package is very colorful and comes in shades of red and black. There are many logos on the front starting with the T-Force logo on the top left corner and followed with SSD Gaming, Delta R RGB on the top right corners. The SSD is listed for use with motherboards that have a USB 9-pin header.
