Transcend 830S 1 TB SATA SSD

The Transcend 830S is an internal solid-state drive with a 1 TB capacity. It uses the M.2 2280 form factor and connects through a SATA 600 interface. The drive is built for personal, gaming and business workloads.

SATA M.2 slot required; not for PCIe-only hosts

This SSD suits laptops and desktops that provide a SATA lane through an M.2 connector. Systems with M.2 slots wired only for PCIe cannot use this drive. Buyers should confirm their motherboard or laptop manual lists SATA support for the M.2 socket.

Sequential read 550 megabits_per_second

The manufacturer rates maximum sequential read at 550 megabits_per_second and sequential write at 6 GB/s. Random 4 KB read and write are both listed at 81000 megabits_per_second. These figures decide whether the drive meets the performance target for the intended workload.

Questions about this item

How often will the 1 TB SATA 830 Series SSD need replacement under typical use?

The drive has no moving parts and uses TLC NAND with a DRAM cache, so it does not require scheduled replacement; endurance is rated for normal personal, gaming and business workloads.

What limit appears first during sustained writes on the TS1TMTS830S?

Sequential write speed caps at 6 GB/s and random 4 KB write throughput at 81000 megabits per second, so the controller’s sustained write ceiling is reached before thermal throttling.

How much heat and noise does the M.2 2280 SATA drive produce when running all day?

The SSD is completely silent and draws only SATA bus power; its 0.1 inch height and 0.35 ounce weight keep heat output low enough for passive cooling in any laptop or desktop slot.
