Transcend 512GB MTE300S M.2 2230 PCIe Gen3x4 SSD, SLC Cache, for Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Microsoft Surface, Single-Sided, Up to 2,000/1,100 MB/s, M Key - TS512GMTE300S

I installed this M.2 drive into a USB-C external drive enclosure that uses mag-safe with my phone and have been using it for ProRes recording so I don't just fill my phone up in ten minutes of video recording. It installed easily, and after creating partitions, it worked and continues to work flawlessly. This little drive fit perfectly in the enclosure and has been super reliable at high transfer speeds over and over again. It didn't cost an arm and a leg either. Very happy with this drive for video recording!

I needed a quality 256GB SSD module to work with my Waveshare PCIe to M.2 Adapter for the Raspberry Pi 5. Apparently the Waveshare PCIe Adapter is quite picky about what brand of SSD modules will work with it. I noticed in the Waveshare PCIe Adapter video they were using either an Erin or a Transcend 256GB SSD module so I purchased the Transcend 256GB SSD module and it has worked just fine with the Waveshare PCIe Adapter. The RPi 5 Bookworm Desktop OS now boots up off of the SSD module lightning fast and I have upped the PCIe speed to the 'PCIe 3' mode from the 'PCIe 2' mode without any issues.

Drive works perfectly in my Windows 11 laptop which had an unused M.2 2230 PCIe Gen3x4 slot.

Installed this in a Dell laptop with a 256GB Intel boot drive. This one is twice as large. Performance has been great, and the extra space is appreciated!

Good price in this current market for a 512GB NVMe. BUT - package was OPENED and potentially used. It did not have files, nor formatted so I was still able to use it. HOWEVER, this should NOT happen. Opened products should not be sold as new. I would like to see a 25% rebate for the used product from this vendor.

Works with Radxa 3C, cannot boot on it with standard boot loader but mounts as normal disk after boot on sdcard.

I tried many PCIe M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 SSD. I could not load the OS on to it. It kept crashing. I bought Transcend and I could load windows 11 Pro and all surface related driver. It's been more than year it's working without any hiccups.

Ok for the price. It works

Aunque tenía buenas referencias de sus memorias, no acababa de fiarme de la marca para un SSD M2. Pero al final cedí por el buen precio y la verdad es que de momento va perfecto. No solo se nota el obvio aumento de capacidad respecto al eMMC de 64GB que llevaba mi Steam Deck de fábrica, sino que se nota más rápida, tanto al cargar el sistema o los juegos, como al descargarlos de internet y instalarlos.

Bought this for my Steam Deck. Worked like a charm, I've had zero issues.
