Transcend

Transcend 410S 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 M.2 2242 42mm internal SSD

SKU CH-7FD6-0NHZC

Compact 42 mm NVMe PCIe 4.0 drive adds 2 TB of fast storage to slim notebooks and handhelds

  • 2TB capacity for extensive storage needs
  • PCIe 4.0 interface enables high-speed data transfer
  • M.2 2242 form factor fits 42mm slots in slim devices
  • NVMe protocol reduces latency for responsive performance
  • 3D NAND flash with SLC caching and LDPC ECC enhances reliability

Compact 42mm NVMe drive

The Transcend 410S is a 2TB NVMe SSD built in the M.2 2242 form factor measuring 42mm long. It targets owners of ultrabooks, lightweight notebooks, tablets and handheld gaming PCs that only accept this shorter module length. The drive connects through a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface using 3D NAND flash.

Upgrade from slower or smaller modules

This drive replaces an existing M.2 2242 SSD that is either capacity limited or running on an older PCIe generation. The jump is worthwhile when the host platform supports PCIe 4.0 and the current drive bottlenecks application load times or sustained write workloads. SLC caching and LDPC ECC firmware features aim to improve reliability and extend lifespan during heavy use.

Limited to PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth

Performance tops out at the PCIe 4.0 x4 lane ceiling, so systems wired for fewer lanes or an earlier generation will not realise the drive's peak throughput. The 2242 footprint also rules out installation in slots keyed only for 2280 or 2260 modules. Buyers needing more than 2TB of capacity or a longer physical module must look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the 42 mm length fit my M.2 2242 slot?

Yes, the 42 mm length matches the M.2 2242 form factor and will fit any slot designed for that size.

How do I install the PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive, and what step is often missed?

Insert the drive at an angle into the M.2 slot, then secure it with the motherboard screw; the step often missed is fastening that screw after seating the drive.

What maintenance will the 3D NAND with LDPC ECC need over time?

The built-in LDPC ECC and SLC caching handle error correction and wear leveling automatically, so no user maintenance is required during the drive's lifespan.
