Transcend 250GB, M.2 2280, PCIe Gen3x4, NVMe, TLC, DRAM-less - TS250GMTE115S

This TRANSCEND SSD is a compact M.2 2280 NVMe drive with a capacity of 250GB, aimed at budget and mid-range configurations. It supports PCIe Gen3x4 interface and offers up to 3200MB/s read speed, which is a huge leap compared to any standard SATA SSD or HDD. The write speed of up to 1300MB/s is more than sufficient for quick loading of Windows, games, and applications. The model is a good choice if you want to revive an older computer or create a budget build that feels “fast”.

What you get: The M.2 2280 form factor means that the drive takes up minimal space and you don’t need cables – just snap it directly into the motherboard slot. The capacity of 250GB is practical for a system drive – operating system, commonly used programs, and a few heavier games. Speeds of up to 3200MB/s read and 1300MB/s write significantly reduce boot time, loading screens in games, and copying larger files. The memory type V-NAND provides a good foundation for reliability in everyday use. Combined with a 60-month warranty, you get a peaceful, long-term option for a primary NVMe storage solution.

• Capacity of 250GB, suitable for a system drive with Windows, essential programs, and a few favorite games.
• Interface PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe, which provides much lower loading times compared to SATA SSD and HDD.
• Maximum read speed of up to 3200MB/s, which speeds up the startup of the OS, games, and your working applications.
• Maximum write speed of up to 1300MB/s, sufficient for quick software installation and copying larger projects.
• Form factor M.2 2280 with dimensions 80.0 x 22.0 x 3.58 mm, ideal for compact cases and a clean, well-organized build without excess cables.
• Memory V-NAND, oriented towards a balance between durability, stability, and price.
• 60 months warranty, which gives you peace of mind for a long period of use.

Who it is suitable for: This SSD is a good choice if you want an affordable and fast NVMe drive for a system partition in an office, home, or budget gaming computer. It is also suitable for upgrading laptops and compact machines, as long as they have a free M.2 slot supporting PCIe Gen3x4. It is not the best option if you are looking for large storage for massive gaming libraries or heavy video editing – there you will need a larger capacity.

The combination of PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe speeds, V-NAND memory, and 5-year warranty makes this 250GB SSD a very sensible choice for the “heart” of a fast and tight system.
