TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta MAX RGB, 1TB SATA III 3D NAND 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive

I'm currently using two of these in a non-raid SATA 3 connection as the data banks for a custom build. 2 TB isn't much for this feature, so a future upgrade will be large HDDs as the main media tanks while the SDDs will provide speedy access to the system for media manipulation in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite and perhaps DaVinci Resolve as well.What's nice about these SSDs is that they are able to provide both features simultaneously for the time being. In fact, one could conceivably use them in this manner indefinitely (well, for the read/write life of the SSD, anyway) if one has no need to archive media - eg: as a revenue system where client media has no expectation of life after final delivery of the product.These are not installed as a RAID; usually that makes sense for HDDs in which the RAID configuration offers a significant speed advantage. SSDs are usually faster out of the box than RAID'd HDDs. That said, there may be applications where configuring these as a RAID might still have an advantage. Still, Windows recognizes both drives as a single unit: while these are not in a RAID per se, they are set up to be similar to a RAID in that they appear to Windows as a single drive. This was a straight-forward option during mounting in the Disk Management application. That was the only connection surprise, but it is a pleasant one (ok, last time I built a system, HDDs were still all the rage).Team Group has other SSDs that do not feature RGB - and they have other RGB options as well. These had such a cool look, and since the case they're installed in has a built in RGB driver (these are also fully compatible with most motherboard LED schemes), I went ahead and went with this RGB option. I have seen no other offerings from any other manufacturer that have so unique an appearance. Somehow Team Group managed to create a "subdued" LED theme (not dim, subdued. There's a distinction). Subdued and LED are both an oxymoron of each other, yet Team Group pulled it off leaving a look that is classic rather than clown. These however have a very striking look even with the system off. Sans LED light, they have a really slick black mirror finish (caveat: leave the plastic film on the surface all the way through assembly, and only remove it when the glass panel is being installed for the last time prior to putting the new system into service). The best part; LED lighting aside, these have performance specs rivaling better known competition and in some cases have a better wear leveling scheme.I would like to see an option for drives in this model greater than 1TB, perhaps Team Group will work on this for future versions. These are however working very nicely and I am happy with their performance as well as appearance. Presuming they remain functioning to specs for a reasonably acceptable period, I would buy them again.

I was hesitant because I do not like over the top RGB but I do like it. The micro usb could have been done a little different as I had clearance issues against my moba. It performs as advertised but a little on the toasty side but not performance hindering. It looks great with my setup.

Love the Delta Max! Set up was easy and the RGB works extremely well for me! Couldn’t be happier. Looks incredible inside the case too. Highly recommend.

It gets the job done like everything else and looks nice, but if you can do without RGB get something else. I say this because you need a separate connection just to power the lighting effects on the ssd and it's very limiting... So just get a Samsung one or something.
