Transcend 115S 500GB NVMe SSD

The Transcend 115S is a 500GB NVMe solid-state drive built for desktops, laptops and ultrabooks. It uses a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with four lanes for simultaneous data transfer. The M.2 2280 form factor fits standard 80mm slots in compatible systems.

NVMe 1.4 and LDPC error correction

The drive follows NVMe 1.4 specifications and includes LDPC coding to protect stored data. Dynamic thermal throttling manages heat during heavy workloads to maintain stability. No extra software or accessories are bundled with the drive.

M.2 2280 build and daily use

The single-sided 80mm board installs directly into an M.2 slot without cables or brackets. Low power consumption helps extend battery life in portable devices. Sequential reads reach 3,200MB/s and writes reach 2,000MB/s for faster boot and load times.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the LDPC ECC algorithm on the 115S need later?

The LDPC ECC algorithm runs automatically inside the controller and requires no user maintenance or replacement.

What limit shows up first on the 115S during sustained PCIe Gen3 x4 transfers?

The dynamic thermal throttling mechanism activates first to protect the drive when temperatures rise under continuous load.

How much heat and power does the 500GB 115S produce when running all day?

The low-power M.2 2280 design keeps heat and power draw minimal during extended operation.
