Transcend SSD 120GB 2.5 Inch SATA III Drive

Transcend 120GB 2.5" SSD SATA3 TLC

  • Read Speed: up to 550MBs

Transcend 120GB 2.5" SSD SATA3 TLC

  • Read Speed: up to 550MBs
  • Write Speed: 420MBs
  • Material: Aluminum

  • 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.

    SATA III

    Modern hard drive connection standard.

    The majority of SSD hard drives use this standard. The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Write Speed

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

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/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.

  • 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.

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.

2.5''
The most classic size of SATA SSD hard drive.

HDD hard drives in laptops are of this size, so upgrading with an SSD is the right choice.

Maximum 4KB Random Write
78000 IOPS

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

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

    Good hard drive in terms of speed, but unfortunately unreliable.

    I bought 2 at the same time for 2 computers and within 7 months one crashed and within 8 months the other one crashed.

    Such a shame.

    This review is about the capacity: 240 GB

    As the first SSD that I use, purchased on offer, it proved to be very fast with Windows 10. Opening and closing happens in less than 10 seconds, applications open instantly, and overall it has a very good build quality! I believe that for the money, it is very good in terms of the promised performance! (~500MB read - ~450 Write)

    Very fast!!!!!! and the best thing is that it can improve the battery life of the Laptop by consuming up to 90% less energy...

    I made the purchase about 4 months ago for about €69 from mm. I am very satisfied with the disk, everything works perfectly! The truth is, it's the first time I bought an SSD and I don't have a point of comparison, but I am satisfied with this disk purchase. I recommend it!
