PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.3 SSD for heavy workloads

The Transcend TS128GMTE110S is a 128GB M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive built for personal, gaming and business systems. It uses the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with the NVMe 1.3 standard to deliver sequential reads up to 1500 MB/s and writes up to 400 MB/s. 3D NAND flash and SLC caching support sustained performance during demanding tasks.

PCIe Gen3 x4 bandwidth limits peak throughput

The PCIe Gen3 x4 link caps maximum sequential transfer rates at the stated 1500 MB/s read and 400 MB/s write figures. Random 4KB performance reaches 2280 MB/s read and 1500 MB/s write within that same interface constraint. Dynamic thermal throttling protects the controller when sustained loads push temperatures higher.

Upgrades from older PCIe or AHCI drives

Replacing an earlier PCIe Gen2 or AHCI-based M.2 drive with this NVMe 1.3 model raises sequential bandwidth and adds LDPC error correction for data integrity. The jump is worth it when workloads involve large media files, heavy multitasking or boot-driven applications that benefit from the higher queue depth and lower latency of the Gen3 x4 interface.

Questions about this item

What capacity should I pick for this 128GB M.2 2280 drive?

The TS128GMTE110S is offered in a single 128GB capacity, so there is no version choice to make.

What does the 1,500 MB/s sequential read figure mean once the drive is installed?

It represents the peak sequential read speed over the PCIe Gen3 x4 link using NVMe 1.3; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on the host system.

Which interface standard does this SSD use and what speed ceiling does it impose?

It uses the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with NVMe 1.3, which caps the maximum theoretical throughput at the stated 1,500 MB/s read and 400 MB/s write.
