3D expansion to break through limitsUnlike the existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which the memory cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND is developed to break through density limitations of the 2D planar NAND, and thus can deliver a greater level of performance and endurance. |
Perfect for your UltrabookCompliant with M.2 form factors Type 2242 and 2280, Transcend's 3D NAND M.2 SSDs are perfect for use in Ultrabooks and lightweight notebooks.

Trying to find high quality, name brand SATA SSDs in this m.2 form factor is becoming hard because it's pretty much a dead standard. Nearly all new systems for many years now will accept m.2 NVME PCIE based drives and you definitely would want to use one of those if your system supports them rather than this drive.
If you know this is the only/best format of drive your system can support, this is one of the best, most affordable options available at this time from my research.
Take a look at my screenshot showing CrystalDiskMark 8.0.1 scores comparing this new Transcend MTS430S SSD in comparison to my systems built in storage.
Note - these results are from a clean install of Windows 10 Home with this Transcend SSD being used for the main OS disk.
If you're in need of a drive in this form factor and type I think this is one of the best available options at this time, January, 2021!
Also take note that I don't know how the reliability/longevity of this drive will be since I've only had it a couple of weeks but I expect it to be great and the packaging states that it has a 5 year warranty.
