Transcend 260S 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe SSD

The Transcend 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 SSD with Graphene Heatsink is an internal storage drive for compatible PCs and laptops. Its 1,000 GB capacity provides space for an operating system, applications, and stored files. The PCI Express 5.0 x4 connection uses four lanes to communicate with the host system. Sequential read speeds reach up to 14,000 MB/s, while sequential writes are rated at up to 9,800 MB/s. These sequential figures describe transfer performance rather than the drive's speed across every type of storage workload.

The drive uses 3D NAND flash memory for data storage. An integrated DRAM cache supports data access alongside the flash memory. Its graphene heatsink provides thermal management during demanding workloads. Installation requires a compatible M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 x4 slot, so the host system's storage specifications should be checked before purchase. Compatibility depends on support for both the drive's physical format and its interface, not simply the presence of an M.2 connector.
