The short version
The MP44 is Teamgroup's DRAM-less PCIe 4.0 x4 drive. Teamgroup's current table rates the 2TB at 7,000 MB/s reads, 6,000 MB/s writes and 1,000 TBW, with a five-year warranty. Tom's Hardware tested it with a Maxio MAP1602 controller and YMTC TLC, finding good sustained speed and strong efficiency, and judged the 4TB the best-placed capacity. It suits budget Gen4 builds. No current US street price could be read.

What reviewers and owners say
Tom's Hardware
MixedFinds the MP44 fast and very efficient with good sustained behaviour, but faces cheaper or quicker rivals at some sizes, leaving the 4TB as the most sensible capacity to buy.

Common questions
Why do reviews list higher speeds than Teamgroup's table?
Tom's Hardware listed 7,400 MB/s reads and 2,500 TBW for the 2TB in 2023, while Teamgroup's current table shows 7,000 MB/s and 1,000 TBW, so the maker's figures are used here.
Does the MP44 have DRAM?
No. Teamgroup's specification table lists no DRAM cache, and Tom's Hardware notes that the drive uses host memory buffer instead.
