1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD

The Transcend TS1TMTE240S is a 1TB internal SSD built on the M.2 2280 form factor with a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface. It uses 3D NAND flash and includes an integrated DRAM cache. Sequential reads reach up to 3800 MBps and writes up to 3200 MBps. The drive targets consumers who need fast, high-endurance storage for intensive workloads.

Suits heavy desktop and laptop workloads

This drive suits users running demanding applications, large game libraries or content-creation tasks that benefit from sustained PCIe 4.0 bandwidth. The 1TB capacity and DRAM cache help maintain performance during prolonged writes. Users limited to PCIe 3.0 slots will not see the full 3800 MBps read ceiling. Systems without an M.2 2280 M-key slot cannot install this drive at all.

1TB capacity with PCIe 4.0 headroom

The 1TB capacity comfortably holds an operating system, several AAA titles and active project files while leaving room for temporary caches. Sequential throughput of 3800 MBps read and 3200 MBps write handles large video transfers and compilation jobs without bottlenecking. Random 4KB performance of 81000 megabits_per_second read and write supports snappy multitasking. The drive runs out of headroom when sustained workloads exceed the rated sequential limits or when the 1TB space fills completely.

Questions about this item

What motherboard slot does the TS1TMTE240S need to work?

The drive requires an M.2 2280 M-key slot wired for PCI-Express 4.0 x4.

Will the TS1TMTE240S run on a PCIe 3.0 motherboard?

Yes, it is backward compatible and will operate at PCIe 3.0 x4 speeds on an older slot.

How can I verify the TS1TMTE240S is delivering its rated 3800 MBps read speed?

Run a sequential-read benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark and confirm results approach 3800 MBps.
