Transcend MTE220S 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4

This internal SSD uses a PCI Express 3.0 x4 connection in the M.2 2280 form factor. It delivers up to 2800.0 MB/s sequential write and 1700 MB/s sequential read with a 256 cache. The drive is built for business, multimedia and gaming workloads.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Builders with an M-key M.2 slot wired for PCIe 3.0 x4 will get the full 2800.0 MB/s write speed. Systems limited to PCIe 2.0 or x2 lanes will run slower. Laptops or desktops without an M.2 2280 socket cannot use this drive.

The specification that decides fit

The M.2 2280 form factor combined with a PCI Express 3.0 x4 interface is the single requirement. Verify your motherboard or laptop provides an M-key slot running at Gen 3 x4 before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the M.2 2280 form factor and 3.1 inch depth fit my motherboard slot?

The drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor measuring 3.1 inches long, 0.9 inches wide and 0.1 inches high, matching standard motherboard M-key slots.

How do I install the PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD and which step is often missed?

Insert the M-key connector into the M.2 slot at an angle, press down and secure with the motherboard standoff screw; the step often missed is fastening that screw.

Does the 256 MB DRAM cache require any maintenance or replacement over time?

The integrated 256 MB DRAM cache is soldered to the PCB and requires no user maintenance or replacement during the drive's service life.
