Transcend MTE110S 256 GB NVMe SSD

The Transcend MTE110S is a 256 GB internal solid-state drive built for the M.2 2280 slot. It connects through a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface using the NVMe protocol. The drive is intended for personal, gaming and business workloads. Its DRAM-less design uses 3D TLC NAND to store data.

Best fit and alternatives

This drive suits builders adding fast storage to a modern laptop or desktop that exposes an M.2 PCIe slot. It also works as a straightforward upgrade for compatible motherboards. Systems without an M.2 PCIe connector cannot use this module.

Deciding specification

Sequential read reaches 550 MB/s while sequential write reaches 800 MB/s. Random 4 KB performance is rated at 81,000 IOPS for both read and write. These figures determine whether the drive meets the speed needs of the intended workload.

Questions about this item

Will the MTE110S work in a laptop that only has an M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 x4 slot?

Yes, the drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor and a PCIe x4 interface, so it fits and communicates through that exact slot.

How can I verify the MTE110S is delivering its rated 550 megabits_per_second read and 800 write speeds after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark on the TS256GMTE110S; sequential results should approach the listed 550 megabits_per_second read and 800 write figures.

Does the TS256GMTE110S package include a heatsink or mounting screw, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare M.2 2280 module; any heatsink or M.2 mounting screw required by your motherboard or laptop must be sourced separately.
