Transcend SSD220S 240 GB 2.5 Inch SATA III 6 Gb/s Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 3D TLC NAND (TS240GSSD220S)

I am one of the fortunate people who get to do what they love for work. Being a total geek & the owner of a small independent computer repair business, I am what is commonly known as an early adopter. My first SSD was purchased from Crucial in 2011 for a ridiculous price of £325 for a 256gb drive. That drive is still in use and going strong. Still very much faster than a conventional mechanical hard drive.Anyway, this Transcend drive appeared as a lightning deal and it just happened that I needed another SSD for a PC. I paid just over £30 for it and also got free delivery. The drive arrived quickly in full retail packaging and as an unexpected bonus, included the adapter tray which enables it to be mounted into a bay intended for 3.5 inch hard drives.There is also a link to download free cloning software which allows you to clone your operating system from your old drive to the SSD. In conclusion, this is an excellent SSD which is plenty big for your operating system and software. Combined with a large mechanical drive for data storage, it offers a great solution for hardly any money. Highly recommended.

Requirement: Small SSD to replace a disk drive used for a small Postgres database on a Raspberry Pi running Bacula as a low power backup solution for a small/home office. A genuine SSD rather than USB flash offers much lower power consumption, higher access speed and longer life. While the HD was working well there was a constant disk noise and 24/7 operation is not for a portable "spinning rust" drive.I originally bought a cheap Kingspec device that was a total failure. Happy to say this has now been in place for two weeks and was subjected to a comprehensive set of tests on both a Pi and a "proper" PC before being used and it passed with flying colours. Latency on disk access is much reduced leading to three times the throughput during backups as it's not waiting so long to update the catalog.My only surprise is it still needs to be run via USB hub (this is connected to a USB to SATA adaptor) as it cannot run directly off the Pi's own USB ports, but of course the adaptor has its own power needs. The disk is the smallest in the range and is still eight times larger than needed, so hopefully wear levelling mean it will last for a very long time.The unit feels very light and is very cool in operation.

I needed high speed, compact data storage for a large data set (±400Gb total) that I only run occasionally. I wanted dedicated storage for this app only external to my Mac. I excluded Cloud storage as I sometimes need to use it in areas with poor no internet..So far the Transcend SSD has met all my needs. It was easy to reformat and data transfer was rapid. I obtained the right SSD capacity at an acceptable price. It is light and easy to carry when traveling.My reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is because it is still relatively new and I do not yet know how reliable and durable it will prove in the longer term.

Although i use windows 8.1 on my laptop i still had a spare hard drive with the Windows 10 upgrade installed, i keep this updated and might one day use it instead of 8.1, with this in mind i looked for an SSD as using Win 10 on a 5400 rpn hard drive was sometimes like wading through treaclethe main reason for choosing the Transcend was price but also because i have had experience with the brand and their support is second to none,as soon as the drive arrived i installed it in my laptop and used a usb caddy to connect the original drive to the laptop, using Acronis cloning software i cloned the hard drive to the SSD which took around 30 minutes, when it had finished i rebooted and in less than a minute had Win 10 running as usual but much faster, it has noticeably improved the overall performence of the laptop with app's now opening in a couple of seconds at most, the Edge browser now opens in just one second,as soon as it is clicked on it on the screen ready to gothe SSD itself came well packaged and was very well protected in the box which also contained spare screws and an installation guide and a warranty card, i registered the drive on the Transcend website which activates the warranty,from the website i also downloaded the SSd Scope software which allows many different options from testing and benchmarking to getting the full specs of the drive etc, it will even download any updates for youalso available for download is a free recovery programme which can recover deleted files etc from any drivegiven that my laptop is only Sata 2 i will not be getting the full Sata 3 performance from it but it has improved the Windows 10 experience enough for me to make it a sound purchase, i wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking to improve a sluggish pc

Easy to fit and produces a dramatic improvement in performance. I cloned to the existing partitions onto the drive (which took a day to do) (using the MacOS disk utility, and an external drive case) and after that swapped the drives over. Everything worked straight away, but much faster. Needed to find a third party trim application, which was free. I liked it so much I bought a second one for my daughter's Mac.

My very first SSD i bought, and im mixed on it. Bought it since it was the best max speed around this price range at 560read and 460mb write, but when i got it and crystaldiskmarked... 220mb read and 40mb write. Dissapointed it didn't even reach half of the max advertised, with the read being only 10mb faster than my hdd...

This is my third SSD and the largest so far. It took a few short minutes to physically attach it to my system and the software from Transcends website took just over an hour to shift 460Gb of data and OS onto the new drive. I am very impressed with its speed, others may be faster but you can bet you'll pay a hefty premium for a few milliseconds. I highly recommend it and the price makes it an absolute bargain.

Small SSDs are getting hard to find. This is actually a fairly fast SSD in a small aluminum enclosure. I wanted it to use with a raspberry pi, and wanted something a little more reliable than a USB stick or small flash storage device. It works well. Supports SMART features so I can get a warning if the drive is going to die. Performance is on par or better than similarly priced kingston drives. Runs cool enough to sit under the pi without adding anything to the temperatures.You may want to just buy a bigger drive for a similar price, but it doesnt feel right to waste a 500 gig drive on something that doesnt need. For me this was perfect.

Lo tengo como disco externo y va más que sobrado. Tampoco es que se lo ponga muy difícil con el uso que le doy.

Support Taiwan! If you're looking for 10 year reliability, go for MLC Flash SSD370S with DRAM cache. If on a budget, get this 3D TLC SSD220S without DRAM cache. Only trust Transcend, you won't regret it.
