TeamGroup CX2 Spec and Price in the United Kingdom

SATA1TB2.5-inch540 MB/s read

At SATA speeds — 540/490 MB/s sequential — the CX2 belongs to an older, cheaper tier than the two NVMe TeamGroup drives here, aimed at users replacing a hard drive or upgrading an older laptop rather than chasing NVMe bandwidth. TLC NAND without DRAM cache and a 200TB endurance rating over a 3-year warranty, the shortest of the TeamGroup trio, reflect its entry-level positioning. It fits systems limited to SATA connectivity or budget builds where capacity and boot-time gains over spinning storage matter more than throughput.

Tied 101st of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential read — 3 models share this figure. 103rd of 106 models in the SSD catalog on Sequential write.

What owners and reviewers say

Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 14, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices

Commonly praised

  • Reviewers described it as a cheap, no-frills SATA drive that comfortably outperforms a mechanical hard drive.
  • It uses TLC NAND with SLC caching and is backed by a three-year warranty.

Commonly criticised

  • As a SATA drive its sequential read and write speeds are capped far below NVMe drives.
  • Its benchmark score sat at the lower end of the drives tested, reflecting its entry-level positioning.
