Transcend MTS430S 128GB M.2 2242 SATA III 6Gb/s SSD, Read/Write up to 560/350 MB/s with DRAM Cache for Ultrabooks& Lightweight Notebooks TS128GMTS430S

This is what I expected. The quality is excellent, delivery is on time and good.

I've been using this in an Asus CN62 Chromebox running Windows 10. This is one of the few M.2 2242 SATA SSDs available (most are the superior NVMe type) and none of the big brands (Samsung, Crucial, etc) make them. So far (3 months in) it's been working very well, with typical fast SSD performance, although the machine isn't doing anything too taxing. If you need a SATA M.2 42mm drive, this is a great choice, from a reputable brand. Update: This has been running for over a year and a half now. It is in a low usage machine but is on 24/7. The drive was running very hot (60-70 C), but this is within the manufacturers limits (75 C) and it has had no ill effects yet. I purchased a small metal heatsink on ebay a few months ago, and with this fitted it's running at 50-58 C. Update (2023): This has just been semi-retired as I've replaced the system it was in with a newer one. The drive has been running at 50-70C for 4 years and has 37,615 hours of uptime. Crystal disk info reports health at 98% due to 5.3 TB reads and 7.6 TB writes (3.8 TB NAND writes) with all erase/error counts at 100% health. Would definitely buy Transcend again, this has outlasted some Crucials and Samsungs for me!

straight replacement, does exactly what it should.

Pricey for what it is but still the cheapest compared to ebay, works great not much else to say.

Installed to an old ThinkPad X250 i7 with 16GB RAM. Took literally 3 minutes. Rather than copy over from the old SSD I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 20.04. Super-quick install and runs fast and smooth. Ok, sluggards like OpenOffice Writer and Firefox still take 3-4 seconds to load, but most software I use loads almost instantaneously, the Ubuntu UI takes no time at all to move around in, and code compilation is fast. Recommended.

This increased disk space from 32GB to 256GB. Also faster access. Made an old linux laptop really useful. Using ubuntu installation usb stick, copied old ssd to a file with dd, and then back to the new disk with dd. Ran granted to check the copied partition and it said it could fix the reported disk size to the new size. I let it. Then I just booted up into the new ssd. Done. Great. Really pleased. Great zoom machine.

Easily installed and picked up by NUC running proxmox.

Bought this to replace a 32Gb SSD on a Dell Inspiron micro pc that failed after 3 years. Slotted it in, recognised straight away, restored Windows and all is good. An easy plug and play job and it's working just fine. If thinking about buying an SSD just make sure it's the right size: there are several different lengths.... Think this is the latest version of this drive: see the Transcend website for further information on current products.
