The TeamGroup MP44 is super simple and very minimal. It's got a sleek black board. No flashy heatsinks. No big logos. Perfect if you like a clean look. Or if your M.2 slot is tight. It's a standard M.2 2280 size. So, it fits almost anywhere. Most new motherboards, laptops, and even tiny PCs.

No heatsink, it still runs cool. That's because it's efficient. Uses little power. If you push it hard for a long time. You might want to add a heatsink or make sure your computer has good airflow. Just something to think about.

For daily use, this MP44 shines. Windows starts in a flash. Programs pop open instantly and move files super quickly. Installing huge games, moving big video files, and rendering projects, the MP44 keeps up. No problem at all. It doesn't have its memory chip. But it's smart! It borrows a bit of your computer's RAM. That helps it stay fast.

We tested it hard. It always hit its promised speeds. Every time. Upgrading from an old SATA SSD, or even a slower Gen3 NVMe, the difference is huge. Night and day. Gamers get faster load times and smoother in-game stuff. Pros, and they will love it too. Less waiting for transfers and exports. Especially with high-res content.

This MP44 is good with power. That's a big strength. It barely sips power when idle. Just 45 milliwatts! Even when it's working hard, it only hits about 4.2 watts.

So, it's great for desktops and laptops, too. Especially if you want speed but don't want to kill your battery. It's perfect for that.

It stays cool most of the time, anyway. But like any super-fast Gen4 drive, it can get warm. If you're writing tons of data for a long time. So, make sure your computer has good airflow or a motherboard with a built-in heatsink. That helps keep it cool.

TeamGroup's software support for the MP44 is a bit limited. That might be a bummer. Especially if you like having a special tool just for your SSD. There's no fancy dashboard. Nothing to check its health. Or update its software. Not from TeamGroup, anyway.

But here's the good thing. This SSD still works fine. With your computer's built-in tools and other programs, you can find. For checking things and keeping it running.

A 5-year warranty is a huge plus. It gives you real peace of mind. TeamGroup's customer service is usually pretty quick, too. If you ever run into a problem. So, you're covered.
