Transcend

Transcend 220S 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 80mm internal hard drive

SKU CH-0H1E-NBVSE

2 TB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 SSD with up to 3,500 MB/s read speed for heavy workloads

  • 2 TB capacity stores large media libraries and game installs
  • PCIe Gen3 x4 interface delivers up to 3,500 MB/s read speed
  • NVMe 1.3 support enables simultaneous data streams for heavy workloads
  • DRAM cache boosts sustained performance during intensive tasks
  • M.2 2280 80 mm form factor fits notebooks and desktop motherboards

Capacity and interface

This Transcend 220S drive provides 2TB of storage in an M.2 2280 form factor that measures 80mm long. It connects through a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface using the NVMe 1.3 protocol, so it fits notebooks, netbooks and desktop motherboards equipped with a compatible NVMe M.2 socket.

Sustained workload behaviour

A DRAM cache and 3D NAND flash memory help the SSD maintain performance during constant, heavy processing such as digital audio or video production and gaming. Sequential transfer speeds reach up to 3500 MB/s read and 2800 MB/s write, reducing system lags when large data sets move continuously.

PCIe lane and protocol limits

The PCIe Gen3 x4 link supplies four lanes that transmit and receive data simultaneously, which is faster than a SATA connection but capped by the Gen3 signalling rate. NVMe 1.3 governs the command set and queue structure, so the drive cannot exceed the throughput or latency characteristics defined by that generation of the standard.

Questions about this item

How much heat or power does the 220S draw when it runs at 3500 MB/s all day?

The 220S uses the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3 and a DRAM cache to sustain high throughput; typical M.2 NVMe drives at this speed draw only a few watts and stay within normal laptop thermal limits.

What must my motherboard provide for the 220S to work?

An M.2 2280 slot that supports PCIe Gen3 x4 and NVMe 1.3; the drive is 80 mm long and needs that keyed connector.

Will the 220S run in a laptop that only has a SATA M.2 socket?

No, the 220S is an NVMe drive requiring a PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 slot; a SATA-only socket cannot communicate with it.
