TeamGroup Release Ryzen Gaming DDR4 & Gen4 PCI-E SSD

Intel got pretty much all the attention concerning high-performance memory and SSDs. However, the tides are turning, and we’re seeing many brands push enthusiast hardware to the AMD camp too. The latest TeamGroup T-Force Dark Z DDR4 memory, as well as their Cardea Zero Z440 PCIe Gen4 M.2 SSD are certainly welcome. Specially made for the AMD Ryzen 3000 series of CPUs. That means exceptional hardware support on the AMD platform. This also expands to their overclocking support, and of course, Gen4 PCIe is currently only on Ryzen.
