## Description

Experience outstanding read/write speeds up to 550/450 MB/s with this durable, energy-efficient M.2 SSD designed for enhanced system performance and reliability.

Review: Excellent M.2 SATA drive - I've been using this in an Asus CN62 Chromebox running Windows 10. This is one of the few M.2 2242 SATA SSDs available (most are the superior NVMe type) and none of the big brands (Samsung, Crucial, etc) make them. So far (3 months in) it's been working very well, with typical fast SSD performance, although the machine isn't doing anything too taxing. If you need a SATA M.2 42mm drive, this is a great choice, from a reputable brand. Update: This has been running for over a year and a half now. It is in a low usage machine but is on 24/7. The drive was running very hot (60-70 C), but this is within the manufacturers limits (75 C) and it has had no ill effects yet. I purchased a small metal heatsink on ebay a few months ago, and with this fitted it's running at 50-58 C. Update (2023): This has just been semi-retired as I've replaced the system it was in with a newer one. The drive has been running at 50-70C for 4 years and has 37,615 hours of uptime. Crystal disk info reports health at 98% due to 5.3 TB reads and 7.6 TB writes (3.8 TB NAND writes) with all erase/error counts at 100% health. Would definitely buy Transcend again, this has outlasted some Crucials and Samsungs for me!
Review: does the job - straight replacement, does exactly what it should.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: compatible with HP elitebook 840 G1?**
A: My system is Lenovo.

**Q: Will this work with a Lenovo X1 Carbon (1st gen) with an adapter?**
A: It is an M.2 connection, so if you get an external M.2 caddy with USB interface then you can use it as an external drive, note that this is a small SSD in length so should fit most brands of laptop with the M.2 connector.

**Q: will this card fit the jumper EZ book 3?**
A: I opened up the M2 compartment on my Jumper X3 and it is definitely 22mm x 42mm. IE M2.2242 not M2.2280 as stated in the specs. So a card the size of this one is mandated.. I'd recommend you do the same and actually measure the M2 slot on your Jumper. If it is 80mm long you are in luck because your SSD will be cheaper.

**Q: Is this compatible with a lenovo yoga lenovo yoga 530-14arr it's a 2240 size m2 slot right?**
A: I think the lenovo Yoga 530-14ARR will take both 42 and 80, but I would probably just slip the back off and check. There's a few teardown videos on youtube, if you're unsure.

straight replacement, does exactly what it should.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ new ssd for acer cb5-571
*by W***E on 20 November 2021*

This increased disk space from 32GB to 256GB. Also faster access. Made an old linux laptop really useful. Using ubuntu installation usb stick, copied old ssd to a file with dd, and then back to the new disk with dd. Ran granted to check the copied partition and it said it could fix the reported disk size to the new size. I let it. Then I just booted up into the new ssd. Done. Great. Really pleased. Great zoom machine.
