Team Group N74V-M80 Industrial Grade VC Cooling M.2 SSD

With the rise of HPC, the demand for industrial product cooling has increased due to higher power requirements and heat generation in demanding industrial applications and platforms.

In response, Team Group, Inc. has adopted the VC (Vapor Chamber) liquid cooling technology, commonly for mobile devices, and introduced an industry’s M.2 SSD VC liquid cooling technology. The VC liquid cooling tube was redesigned for PCIe M.2 SSD applications based on the high-speed transfer rates and heat generation patterns of speed PCIe M.2 SSD. The result is a liquid-cooled PCIe M.2 SSD with thermal performance that can sustain high-speed operation in harsh and dynamic industrial environments.

With the rise of HPC, the demand for industrial product cooling has increased due to higher power requirements and heat generation in demanding industrial applications and platforms. In response, the company has adopted the VC (Vapor Chamber) liquid cooling technology, commonly for mobile devices, and introduced the first M.2 SSD VC liquid cooling technology. The VC liquid cooling tube was redesigned for PCIe M.2 SSD applications based on fast transfer rates and heat generation patterns of speed PCIe M.2 SSD. The result is a liquid-cooled PCIe M.2 SSD with thermal performance that can sustain high-speed operation in harsh and dynamic industrial environments.

The firm’s N74V-M80 is an industrial grade VC Cooling M.2 SSD that utilizes proprietary liquid cooling technology (Taiwan Utility Model Patent : M626519). Through the specially designed VC liquid cooling tubes, cooling fluid is pumped to the heat zone of PCIe M.2 SSD controller. Heat is then transferred to the aluminum fin heat sink with a convective design via gas-liquid phase transition to enhance thermal performance. The N74V-M80 combines the functions of heat absorption, conduction, and dissipation to better transfer and regulate thermal energy. Team Group’s industrial control T.R.U.S.T. technology (‘T’ for Temperature) ensures that its PCIe M.2 SSD products maintain transfer performance over a temperature range of -40°C (-40°F) to 85°C (185°F). In addition, the N74V-M80 uses TLC flash and supports the PCIe Gen3x4 interface and NVMe1.3 standard, providing RW speeds of up to 3,400 and 2,500MB/s, respectively, and is suitable for industrial-grade HPC devices with adequate installation space. It can fully meet the high-speed computing needs while keeping it cool and energy-saving.

Under temperature performance testing, the N74V-M80 SSD with its VC liquid thermal module was better at maintaining efficient data writing capability than SSDs without heat sinks at an ambient temperature of 85°C due to a delayed slowdown mechanism, reducing data write time by 75%. These features significantly improving data RW efficiency and stability and extending product life, making it the choice for a reliable and durable industrial-grade SSD upgrade. The company continuously strives for innovation in the development of diverse cooling technologies so that customers can overcome any heating issues in harsh operating environments and enjoy storage performance. The firm will continue to create reliable industrial storage solutions in response to the changing landscape and needs of the industrial storage market.

[2] Transmission speed will vary according to different hardware/software conditions, therefore the data can only use for basic reference.
[3] The warranty period of SSDs is divided into a warranty of years and a warranty of the number of disk writes. One of the 2 conditions (the earlier one is the standard). Any improper action that causes the flash to exceed the lifespan limitation will not be warranted. (Erase Count MLC: 3,000 times, SLC: 60,000 times, High Endurance 3D TLC(10K): 10,000 times, Industrial 3D TLC: 3,000 times ) The erase count judge standard is to use the company’s official released S.M.A.R.T.
