Transcend MTE300S 256GB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe M.2 2230 SSD
TS256GMTE300S
The Transcend MTE300S 256GB (TS256GMTE300S) is a compact and efficient PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD designed for ultra-small devices such as handheld gaming PCs, ultrabooks, tablets, and mini PCs. With its M.2 2230 form factor (30mm length), it is perfect for space-constrained systems where traditional 2280 SSDs cannot fit.
Powered by a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface and NVMe architecture, the drive delivers sequential speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s read and 950 MB/s write, significantly improving system responsiveness, boot times, and application loading compared to SATA SSDs.
Built using 3D NAND flash, the MTE300S offers a balance of performance, efficiency, and durability, making it ideal for everyday computing and portable devices.
The SSD includes advanced technologies such as SLC caching, LDPC ECC error correction, S.M.A.R.T monitoring, and garbage collection, ensuring stable performance and long-term reliability.
With a 100TB endurance rating and an MTTF of up to 2 million hours, the MTE300S is engineered for consistent performance in compact systems and light-to-moderate workloads.
