SSD drive Transcend 256GB M.2 2280 SATA TS256GMTE452T

The Transcend TS256GMTE452T is a 256GB internal M.2 2280 solid state drive compatible with PCIe Gen3 x2 and NVMe 1.3. It uses 3D NAND flash memory with 96 stacked layers and includes a DRAM cache to improve access speed and storage efficiency while maintaining reliability for everyday and mission-critical storage tasks.

Advantages

The M.2 SSD provides faster transfer speeds through its PCIe Gen3 x2 interface and NVMe 1.3 support compared with older SATA-only drives. The 96-layer 3D NAND increases storage density and efficiency versus earlier 64-layer designs. The built-in DRAM cache reduces access latency, and in-house testing ensures consistent endurance, with a Program/Erase rating of 3K cycles.

Suitable for

• Upgrading laptops and desktops to improve boot and application load times
• Everyday office work, web browsing and multimedia playback
• Compact systems and small-form-factor builds that accept M.2 2280 modules
