SSD 256GB Transcend M.2 MTE110S (M.2 2280) PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe content_copy

The Transcend SSD M.2 2280 TS256GMTE110S is an internal solid-state drive with a storage capacity of 256 GB, designed for use in desktop computers, notebooks, and other systems that support an M.2 interface. The device is based on 3D triple-level cell (TLC) NAND flash technology and uses the PCI Express 3.0 x4 interface in the NVMe protocol, enabling high data transfer rates. The SSD is designed for users who require fast system response, short boot times, and reliable storage performance without compromising on the benefits of an SSD.

Applications
This SSD is suitable for use in modern PC systems equipped with an M.2 slot. It is particularly well-suited for office applications, multimedia processing, system booting, and application launching, where fast access times are critical. Due to NVMe support and the PCIe interface, it is also suitable for systems with high I/O loads, such as those running virtual machines or database applications. The compact M.2 2280 form factor allows for easy installation in devices with limited space.

Features and Specifications in Detail
The SSD offers an internal data throughput of up to 1600 MBps for reading and 800 MBps for writing. These values enable fast data transfer, sufficient for daily use of operating systems and applications. The use of 3D TLC NAND flash provides a balanced combination of storage density and lifespan. The SSD supports TRIM, which maintains performance over time by efficiently deleting data no longer in use. Additionally, thermal throttling is integrated to reduce performance at high temperatures, preventing damage to the device. Intelligent SLC Caching optimizes write speed by temporarily storing frequently written data in an SLC-like mode. Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) error correction improves data security and extends the lifespan of the storage.

Technology Explained Simply
The SSD uses the PCI Express 3.0 x4 interface, which provides four data lanes and thus enables high bandwidth. The NVMe protocol (NVM Express 1.3) is specifically optimized for flash storage and allows direct communication between the storage and the processor, without requiring an additional driver layer. This results in reduced latency and more efficient use of bandwidth. The designation M.2 2280 describes the physical form of the module: 22 mm wide and 80 mm long. The 3D TLC technology means that memory cells are stacked in multiple layers, increasing storage density while reducing the cost per gigabyte. The DRAM-less architecture (without integrated RAM) reduces complexity and cost, with performance compensated by technologies such as SLC caching and LDPC.

Compatibility and Accessories
The SSD is compatible with systems that offer an M.2 interface with PCIe 3.0 x4 and NVMe support. It can be used in computers and notebooks equipped with a corresponding M.2 slot. No additional adapters or cables are required, as the SSD is inserted directly into the slot.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by inserting the M.2 module into the appropriate slot on the motherboard. The SSD has a flat, rectangular shape that fits into the M.2 slot. It is typically secured with a screw clamp to ensure a stable connection. No additional drivers are required, as NVMe support is standard in modern operating systems. The SSD is automatically recognized after installation and can be formatted and used immediately.

Operational Advantages
The SSD offers faster system response compared to traditional hard drives, as it has no moving parts. Lifespan is extended by integrated features such as TRIM, thermal throttling, and LDPC error correction. Low heat generation and low power consumption contribute to efficiency. The compact form factor allows flexible placement within the system, and NVMe support ensures optimal use of available bandwidth. The SSD is suitable for use in office environments, home computers, and small servers where reliable and fast storage performance is required.
