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.

Running great on Raspberry Pi
I am using this as a boot drive for a Raspberry Pi 4 that I have installed in the Argon One M.2 SATA case. It’s been running Ubuntu server, and acts as my network controller. I also run a host of other LAN related services on it.I don’t think the Raspberry Pi is running the drive at it’s peak, but it’s always been ready and willing to perform any task I’ve thrown at it. It’s been much better than running off an SD card, as they are slow and then to die after a year or so when left to run 24/7/365.With this setup, the Raspberry Pi will be quaint and useless before the drive begins to die.

Simple to install, provides what I need
Wanted to boot a Raspberry Pi 4B from an external disk instead of the standard micro-SSD card. In addition, given that many writes to the micro-SSD card might cause it to go bad more quickly I wanted something a bit more robust in that regard. Drive speed was *not* my first consideration so this Transcend 512GB SATA SSD fit the bill nicely. Installation into a UGREEN external enclosure was simple and my RPi has been working great ever since. Very much recommend this drive for not only this type application but for any situation where you need some extra external disk space and speed is not of the essence. Very much recommend this drive!

It is working.
It is expensive for a sata ssd, but I don’t buy ssds that don’t have a dram cache. Otherwise it works satisfactory.

Customer service is nothing short of incredible.
I’ve purchased several of these over the years and never had a problem. This one just wouldn’t be recognized by my computers. So I got in touch with Transcend. We worked together, first by phone and then by email. We ultimately decided that I should exchange the drive for a new one.So, I’ll be returning the drive to them. They provided the shipping label.I have never had such polite, helpful and FAST responses as this. The people who stand behind the product are as important a part of the product as the product itself.These people are the best!

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.

取付後、Windows10 でリカバリ後何度か転送速度の負荷テスト実施するも、５％以内の速度誤差ないにて安定運用できている。あとは耐久性かな
