  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    PCI Express 3.0

    Connecting to the PCI Express expansion port of the motherboard. Equally popular way of connecting SSD hard drives directly to the motherboard. This connection offers the highest speeds.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Description

Description

Transcend offers an SSD that combines speed and performance. With a capacity of 512GB, this drive is ideal for use in gaming and professional applications that require ample space. For example, it can store approximately 250 thousand photos from a 12MP camera or 250 movies.

The drive uses the PCI Express 3.0 communication protocol, which provides significantly higher speeds compared to traditional SATA SSDs. This connection is particularly useful for demanding applications, such as high-definition video editing or transferring large files.

Additionally, the SSD has a M.2 form factor (Type 2230), which means it is compatible with motherboards that support this specific size. This makes it easier to install and upgrade your computer or laptop.

Finally, it is important to mention that the drive supports NVMe 1, which is a communication standard that enhances the performance and speed of SSDs. While the high speeds are more noticeable in demanding activities, the differences are not as pronounced in simple, everyday use.

Capacity
512 GB

Capacity

The golden ratio of cost and capacity for now is 500GB and 1TB.

For gaming or professional programs that require a lot of space for their installation, a capacity of at least 500GB is recommended. 

As an indication, a 1TB hard drive can hold about 250 thousand photos taken with a 12MP camera or 250 movies.
Communication Protocol

NVMe

Communication template that enhances the performance and speed of SSDs.

The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for simple everyday use.
Heatsink
No

Heatsink

The SSD is equipped with a heatsink to maintain low temperatures, ensuring better performance and more efficient heat dissipation in the SSD.

Write Endurance (TBW)

Shows the total amount of data (in TB) that the SSD can write over its lifetime, according to the manufacturer’s specifications. A higher value means greater theoretical endurance for frequent data writes.
NAND Flash Type
TLC

NAND Flash Type

The type of flash memory used by the SSD. It affects the drive's durability, performance, and cost.

TLC
The most common option, offering a very good balance between performance, durability, and cost.

Form Factor
M.2 (Type 2230)

Form Factor

The term form factor refers to the physical size of SSDs. The motherboard must support the form factor of the SSD in order for it to be installed.


The higher speeds offered by an NVMe drive are mainly applicable to demanding applications (such as high-definition video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and are not necessary for everyday use.

M.2 (Type 2230)
The motherboard must support the form factor in order for the SSD to be installed on it. It is worth noting that M.2 drives are divided into those that use the SATA protocol and those that use PCI Express. Of the SSDs that use the PCI Express protocol, most also support NVMe technology, which allows for even faster speeds if supported by the motherboard.
