Transcend MTE410S 256 GB (TS256GMTE410S)

The Transcend MTE410S is a compact NVMe SSD line in the M.2 2242 form factor, designed for thin laptops, ultrabooks, tablets, and portable gaming systems where the standard M.2 2280 may be incompatible due to length constraints. The Transcend MTE410S series features a PCIe Gen4 x4 interface, 3D NAND Flash, single-sided component layout, and a buffer-less power-efficient architecture that helps reduce energy consumption and simplifies installation in compact devices. The lineup is available in capacities of 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB. Maximum speeds across the series reach up to 5000 MB/s read and 4300 MB/s write, though they vary by capacity: the 256 GB model performs up to 3300/1400 MB/s, 512 GB and 1 TB up to 5000/3500 MB/s, and the 2 TB up to 5000/4300 MB/s. For random operations, hundreds of thousands of IOPS are also specified, and write endurance ranges from 150 TBW in the entry-level model to 1200 TBW in the 2 TB variant. The series supports SLC caching, LDPC ECC, garbage collection, and S.M.A.R.T., focusing not only on speed but also on error control and operational stability. The Transcend MTE410S is ideal for upgrading thin devices where a compact 2242 module, PCIe Gen4 performance, and a wide range of capacities are needed.
