What this drive is

The Transcend 110S is a 512GB M.2 2280 internal SSD that uses a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and 3D NAND flash. It delivers sequential reads up to 1700 MBps and writes up to 1400 MBps. The drive follows the NVMe 1.3 specification and includes LDPC error correction for data integrity.

Suits mainstream builds not high-end workloads

This SSD fits laptops and desktops with an M.2 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4. Random read reaches 160000 IOPS and write reaches 250000 IOPS. The 200TB TBW rating covers typical consumer use. Systems needing PCIe 4.0 or 5.0 bandwidth should choose a newer controller.

Deciding spec is the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface

The drive connects through a PCIe 3.0 x4 lane configuration. Peak throughput is capped by this generation. Verify the motherboard or laptop provides an M.2 2280 slot with PCIe 3.0 x4 electrical wiring before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an M.2 2280 slot with PCIe 3.0 x4 support for this drive to work?

Yes, the drive requires an M.2 2280 slot that runs PCIe 3.0 x4 and follows the NVMe 1.3 specification.

Will this 110S drive run at its rated 1700 MBps read speed if I install it in an older PCIe 2.0 M.2 slot?

It will operate but the interface will limit throughput to PCIe 2.0 speeds, so the 1700 MBps figure will not be reached.

After installation, how can I verify the SSD is delivering the advertised 160000 IOPS random read performance?

Run a 4 KB random read benchmark in a tool such as CrystalDiskMark and confirm the result approaches 160000 IOPS.
