The T‑Force G70 Pro 1TB Review

The T‑Force G70 Pro 1TB is shaking up the mid-range SSD market, particularly with its affordable priced features. Under the hood, TeamGroup combines the InnoGrit IG5236 controller with Micron 176‑layer TLC NAND. This combination yields peak sequential read speeds of up to 7,400 MB/s and writes around 5500 MB/s that place the G70 Pro firmly in the mid-range Gen4 territory, ensuring quick load times and seamless file transfers which makes it ideal for gamers and creative users.

Performance and endurance

• • Capacity: 1 TB
  • Sequential Read Speed: Up to 7,400 MB/s
  • Sequential Write Speed: Up to 5,500 MB/s
  • Endurance: 740 TBW

• MTBF: 3 Million Hours
• DWPD: 0.4 

Form factor and interface

• Form Factor: M.2 2280
• Interface: PCIe 4.0 x4 with NVMe 1.4 protocol 

Technology and features

• NAND Type: TLC
• Heatsink: Includes a graphene heatsink option
• Warranty: 5 Years
• Operating Systems: Compatible with Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7/Vista, MAC OS 10.4 or later, and Linux 2.6.33 or later 

A notable strength is the drive’s cooling flexibility as users can select either a traditional aluminium or a sleek graphene heatsink option. However, the slim graphene option is a massive benefit for tight builds, especially upgrading laptops or a PlayStation 5, where space is a premium. The G70 Pro is affordably priced at $159AUD (November 2025) for the 1TB capacity and unlike many budget‑focused rivals, it includes a dedicated DRAM cache, essential for sustained speed and superior multitasking.

Benchmarks

We tested the drive with CrystalDiskMark is a lightweight utility designed to measure sequential and random read/write speeds, making it a go-to choice for quickly testing SSDs and HDDs. The second test was with ATTO Disk Benchmark that is an industry-standard tool that evaluates performance across drives, RAID arrays and storage controllers, providing detailed insights into transfer rates at varying block sizes. Lastly, we tested if with the 3DMark Storage Benchmark which emphasizes real-world gaming scenarios, simulating how efficiently SSDs can load titles and assets, with modern DirectStorage tests showcasing reduced CPU overhead and faster data transfers between storage and GPU.

#: Test system: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Asus ROG STRIX X870E-E Motherboard

The ATTO Benchmark confirms that the T-Force G70 achieves its advertised peak speeds, delivering strong sustained throughput for large file transfers. CrystalDiskMark further validates its sequential and random performance, with IOPS figures that are competitive against flagship drives such as the Samsung 990 Pro. Meanwhile, the 3DMark Storage Test highlights the drive’s excellent real-world responsiveness in both gaming and creative workloads, with load times that are nearly identical to those of top-tier competitors.

Competitor Comparisons

Final Thoughts?

The only real caveat is that while the G70 Pro competes fiercely, it often falls just shy of the absolute peak performance delivered by leaders such as Samsung and Western Digital. However, the T‑Force G70 Pro 1TB is a fantastic investment for those on a budget as it delivers top‑tier speed and includes essential features like a DRAM cache plus versatile cooling, making it a powerful foundation for any high‑performance PC build.
