• [IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY] M.2 SATA III ONLY This SSD is an M.2 SATA III 6Gb/s drive featuring a B+M Key. It is designed strictly for M.2 slots that support the SATA protocol. Please Note: This drive is NOT compatible with NVMe or PCIe slots. Please verify your device specifications before purchase to ensure compatibility.
• [SPACE-SAVING] M.2 2242 FORM FACTOR With an ultra-compact length of only 42mm, the M.2 2242 form factor is significantly smaller than standard 80mm (2280) drives. It is the perfect upgrade solution for space-constrained devices such as Ultrabooks, thin-and-light laptops, NUCs, and mini-PCs.
• [HIGH PERFORMANCE] BUILT-IN DRAM CACHE Unlike DRAM-less SSDs, the MTS430S features a dedicated DDR3 DRAM cache that significantly reduces data access latency. Combined with SLC caching technology, it delivers exceptional sequential speeds of up to 560MB/s Read and 350MB/s Write.
• [ADVANCED DURABILITY] 3D TLC NAND & LDPC Built with high-quality 3D TLC NAND flash and a total bytes written (TBW) rating of 70TB. It utilizes a RAID engine and LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) error correction to ensure data integrity, superior stability, and a prolonged lifespan for your critical data.
• [EFFICIENCY] DEVSLEEP & SMART SUPPORT Supports SATA Device Sleep (DevSleep) mode, which conserves battery life by intelligently powering down the SSD when not in use while maintaining instant wake-up response. Fully compatible with S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, and NCQ commands for optimal drive health management.

The Transcend MTS430S M.2 2242 SATA III 6Gb/s SSD is a high-performance storage solution designed for ultra-compact devices like Ultrabooks, thin laptops, and NUCs. Featuring a powerful controller and high-quality 3D TLC NAND flash, it includes a dedicated DDR3 DRAM cache and SLC caching technology to deliver exceptional read/write speeds up to 560MB/s and 350MB/s. To ensure long-term reliability, it is equipped with a RAID engine, LDPC error correction, and DevSleep mode for optimized power efficiency. [CRITICAL COMPATIBILITY NOTE] Before purchasing, please verify that your device supports the M.2 SATA interface (B+M Key) and the 2242 (42mm) size profile; this drive is NOT compatible with NVMe/PCIe-only slots. Please check your motherboard or laptop manual to ensure it accepts a SATA-based M.2 2242 internal SSD.
