TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta Max 500GB ARGB 2.5 SATA SATA 3 Solid State Drive (SSD)

The TeamGroup T-Force Delta Max 500GB ARGB SATA SSD combines eye-catching aesthetics with dependable everyday performance. Housed in a standard 2.5-inch, 9.5 mm chassis measuring 100 mm × 69.85 mm, it slots into virtually any desktop tower or gaming case that accepts a 2.5-inch drive bay. The standout visual feature is a full-mirror sputtering panel that reflects addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting across its surface. Two lighting modes are supported: connect the included 5V 3-pin to Micro-B cable to an ARGB-capable motherboard header for software-synchronised effects, or use the USB 10-pin to Micro-B cable on a non-ARGB board to activate the built-in rainbow flowing light effect. Compatible RGB control software includes ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion 2.0, MSI Mystic Light Sync, ASRock Polychrome Sync, and BIOSTAR Advanced VIVID LED DJ. On the performance side, the drive uses a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface and 3D NAND flash. Sequential read and write speeds are rated at up to 560 MB/s and 510 MB/s respectively (measured via ATTO and CrystalDiskMark). Random 4K read/write IOPS reach up to 90K/80K, making day-to-day application launches and file transfers noticeably snappier compared to a mechanical hard drive. The drive operates from a standard DC +5V supply and within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Data integrity is maintained through built-in ECC (Error Correction Code), Wear-Leveling technology, and a garbage-collection algorithm. NCQ (Native Command Queuing) optimisation further improves sustained read/write responsiveness. Windows TRIM support lets the operating system reclaim freed blocks promptly, helping preserve long-term write performance. Reliability credentials include a 1,000,000-hour MTBF rating and an endurance figure exceeding 400 TB written (TBW). A 3-year limited warranty is included. The drive is compatible with Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7, macOS 10.4 or later, and Linux kernel 2.6.33 or later.
