Pros & Cons

Pros

✓ 1TB in M.2 2280 form factor, no drive bay or SATA cable needed
✓ Rated up to 530 MB/s read, near the SATA III ceiling
✓ SLC cache layer buffers bursty writes ahead of the 3D NAND TLC
✓ Fits SATA-only M.2 slots that will not accept an NVMe drive

Cons

✗ SATA III caps it at 530/480 MB/s, far below NVMe drives
✗ Write speed of 480 MB/s trails its own read rating
✗ TLC with SLC cache slows on sustained writes past the cache
✗ Will not work in M-key PCIe-only M.2 slots

Manufacturer description

The TEAMGROUP MS30 1TB is an M.2 2280 SATA III drive built for machines that have an M.2 slot but no NVMe support, which covers a large slice of laptops and desktop boards from the mid-2010s. It uses 3D NAND TLC paired with an SLC cache layer, and TEAMGROUP rates it at up to 530 MB/s sequential read and 480 MB/s sequential write over the 6Gb/s SATA interface. That puts it close to the practical ceiling of SATA, so the real gain here is over a mechanical hard drive or an aging 2.5-inch SSD rather than over NVMe. The gum-stick 2280 form factor means no drive bay, no SATA data cable, and no…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored TEAMGROUP MS30 1TB using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the ssds & storage category. TEAMGROUP's ssds & storage lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for ssds & storage of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the TEAMGROUP MS30 an NVMe drive?

No. The MS30 is an M.2 2280 SATA III 6Gb/s drive. It uses the M.2 physical connector but runs the SATA protocol, rated up to 530 MB/s read and 480 MB/s write.

Will the MS30 1TB fit my laptop or motherboard?

It fits M.2 2280 slots wired for SATA. Check your manual for the slot's key and protocol first, since an M-key PCIe-only slot will not run this drive.

How fast is the TEAMGROUP MS30 1TB?

TEAMGROUP rates it at up to 530 MB/s sequential read and 480 MB/s sequential write, which is at the practical limit of the SATA III 6Gb/s interface.

What does the SLC cache actually do?

It absorbs incoming writes at higher speed before they settle into the 3D NAND TLC. Sustained transfers larger than the cache drop to native TLC write speed.
