The Transcend 220S (TS1TMTE220S) is a high-performance M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive designed to significantly speed up data access and system responsiveness. Utilizing a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and NVMe 1.3 technology, this 1 TB drive reaches sequential read speeds of up to 3,500 MB/s and write speeds of up to 3,200 MB/s, which helps you load large files and demanding applications almost instantly. Its internal architecture relies on 3D TLC NAND flash and an 8-channel controller supported by a DRAM cache to maintain consistent performance during heavy workloads. Built for longevity and reliability, the drive features an endurance rating of 2200 TBW and a mean time between failures of 2,000,000 hours. It manages data integrity through LDPC coding and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring, while dynamic thermal throttling prevents overheating during intense tasks. The double-sided hardware design is compact, weighing only 10 g, and fits into any M-key M.2 slot. You can manage the drive's health and optimize its settings using the Transcend SSD Scope software on Windows 7 or later, or Linux Kernel 2.6.31 and above.
