What’s the difference between the MP33 and MP33 Pro?

Team Group has two similar M.2 PCIe solid state drives with the MP33 and MP33 Pro. You can follow this guide at Seeking Tech to see what the main differences are between these SSDs.

Quick Summary

When compared to the Team Group MP33 SSD, the Team Group MP33 Pro SSD is faster at maximum sequential reading and maximum sequential writing.

With that said, the two solid state drives have the same maximum random reading and maximum random writing speeds. Both are also identical when it comes to voltage, temperature range, humidity range and warranty length.

The 512 GB MP33 Pro has better endurance than the 512 GB MP33. Otherwise, the 1 TB and 2 TB capacities for both SSDs have the same endurance.

The pro version also has a better reliability rating when compared to the normal version.

So, if you are looking for the best sequential performance speeds with the best reliability, then we recommend getting the MP33 Pro over the MP33.
