i have an old macbook air, which can only support sata (no nvme) and the ssd is dead after 9 years of usage.

so i bought teamgroup ms30 ssd and installed it on the laptop. at first it was fast and running smoothly, but after like a week, it became slow and sluggish, even with sudo trim enable

so i bought another ssd, samsung evo 860, and replaced the teamgroup ms30 and after a month, it still runs smoothly.

perhaps this ms30 is not suitable if you make it as a boot drive, or maybe it's not compatible with macos.

anyone else have experience with this teamgroup brand?

no for ssd or recently

but c2d days, using this brand RAM for overclocking cuz cant afford ocz gold

Samsung>all

Have you tried reinstalling the OS when you're still using Teamgroup SSD

Even if you bought the ssd, you probably still need an adapter for it as Apple being Apple uses proprietary connectors

u understand what he wants to ask??

Didn't see that. Had issues with SSDs for Macs before so I only boughted OWC for Apple ones after that.

But for TS, used TeamGroup SSDs before and had no issues with it

possible it slowed down due to no NAND ram or something?

all the while team is low tier product.

yup, it slows down even on clean installed macos as well.


yep, bought an adapter to convert m.2 ssd lol.

Who ask you to use SSD without DRAM ?
