This 1T SSD appears to be a good replacement for the old Sandisk.
I purchased the Transcend 1TB M.2 2280 SATA III SSD to replace a SanDisk 512 GB SSD in my HP Pavillion laptop. I wanted to switch to windows 11, but did not have hardly any room left on that disk. Using a Fuabo docking station, and Acronis true image, I cloned this disk. When I connected the SSD via USB, I had to go into Computer Management under Tools running MSCONFIG to see the SSD. During the cloning process, the SSD temperature in one spot was 68° C (155°F). I decided to put a heat sink on it before putting it in the laptop. I hope it extends its life. CHKDSK said there were no errors. So, the SSD appears to be operating normally. I purchased this SSD instead of the western digital one because of the more favorable reviews. so far, I’m satisfied with this one.
Great value for Windows installation!
Good quality and great for Windows installation because it’s recommended to have a dram chip which this does for writes from windows updates. Finally speed is enough but not fast enough for some newer triple A games Rachet and Clank.
Toasty little M.2 drive, but no issues so far
This Transcend 1 TB SATAIII M.2 seems (to me) to run pretty hot, but I haven’t noticed any issues.The package and the manufacturer’s website both say that it includes a 5 year warranty (as opposed to the 3 year warranty that is mentioned in the listing).I was unable to purchase an NVMe M.2 drive for this use-case (hardware limitations of the mini PC) and I could have purchased other M.2 SSD SATA drives for about half of the price, but I just can’t bring myself to buy an SSD that lacks a DRAM cache and this seemed to be the best price I could find on a 1TB SATA M.2 SSD with DRAM cache.This drive is installed in a BMAX B1 Plus mini PC [ASIN:B0D2HQMR4Q] that I am running inside of an full size arcade cabinet.I installed Transcend’s SSD Scope software to check for firmware updates (there weren’t any available) and used it for peeking at the temperatures. The software is very basic and doesn’t have some of the features that I am used to seeing in competitors SSD management utilities (eg. Samsung Magician). I don’t see a way to over provision in SSD Scope, so I just left 20% of the space unallocated in Disk Management. I do not leave SSD Scope running, but it seems like the only way to even manually check for firmware updates, which are probably pretty rare anyway.In the fanless BMAX B1 Plus, this SSD idles at around 60°C. When performing some sustained file copies I saw the drive running at around 80-84°C. Knowing that I had very limited space to work with in the mini BMAX case, I ordered a 6mm thick copper M.2 heatsink [ASIN:B0CWNLJZSP]. With the heatsink installed and the plastic cover of the BMAX case left off (nothing can touch it inside of the arcade cabinet), the same file copies resulted in temps of 64-71°C. The idle temperature was not changed. Under normal use, this arcade has very small and brief periods of reading and writing to/from this SSN (D:) drive. With the heatsink installed, I haven’t seen the SSD go over 64°C during normal use.This is just me working within the constraints of my arcade cabinet build. I think that in a standard PC case with a good motherboard or 3rd party heatsink, this SSD probably would not have any significant heat issues.5-years warranty is good to have. DRAM cache is a requirement (for me). So far I have had no complaints about the drive.
El rendimiento del SSD es muy bueno, aunque en las pruebas de rendimiento no cumple completamente con las velocidades especificadas, jala muy bien y la laptop se siente muy rapida, carga todo el sistema en aprox 15 segundos.Instalado en una HP 245 G7 con un Ryzen 3 con slot M.2 sin problemas de compatibilidad, el único detalle serian las altas temperaturas (70°) que luego alcanza cuando hace demasiadas operaciones de I/O, pero probablemente es por la posición que tiene en la laptop.Aunque no es de una marca reconocida, si lo recomendaria, es un upgrade muy necesario y hara que tu laptop vaya y se sienta mucho mas rapida y poderosa.El envio llego rapidamente y sin inconveniente alguno, el paquete perfectamente sellado y el producto en muy buen estado.
Cercavo una SSD compatibile per il mio portatile Asus Vivobook s15 non più recentissimo e fare un upgrade della memoria, non era facile trovare ancora in circolazione delle ssd con interfaccia Sata ma fortunatamente con Transcend ho trovato quello che cercavo. Ho acquistato il modello da 512GB, una volta installato nello slot Sata è molto importante ricordare che il sistema operativo non riconosce immediatamente la nuova memoria, infatti deve essere prima “inizializzata”. Una volta configurata, che si decida di usarla come semplice memoria di archiviazione, oppure (come nel mio caso) per installarci il sistema operativo, svolge perfettamente il suo lavoro offrendo prestazioni eccellenti in lettura e scrittura e dando un ottimo boost sia all’avvio del sistema che all’esecuzione dei programmi installati. Direi che per il prezzo pagato è un’ottima soluzione.

Great addition
Great item works well with the Mac mini

Works with HP T630 thin client
A great fit to update an older HP thin client that only has M.2 SATA.

SSD Failure
This drive failed right off the bat – could not format or initialize this drive. Returned for refund.
Oscar Sommerbo –
Very solid drive, it is hard to find reliable SATA III M.2 drives, but this is very good and speedy, for SATA
Kwok Yong (Michael) –
Work excellent for great price very happy

Le portable HP refuse de le reconnaitre comme disque système. Il est donc devenu un stockage auxiliaire.Les joies de la quincaillerie.
