Company software. The ability to clone an entire disk or its partitions.

Ultra-compact and powerful 240GB M.2 SSD. Refers to devices of size 2242, which are only 4.2 cm long and 2.2 cm wide. The drive is compatible with motherboards equipped with M.2 Socket 3 (M key) with SATA 3 interface support. Installed in laptops, netbooks, nettops, suitable for some monoblock models. It is quite suitable for equipping mobile workstations of primary/middle class, demanding access time and speed of disk operations.

The hardware basis of the Transcend SSD 420S TS240GMTS420S SSD is a combination of a Silicon Motion SM2258H quad-channel controller (128 MB buffer) with high-capacity 3D TLC NAND multi-layer flash memory. Supports high-speed SLC caching technology, error correction using LDPC algorithms, SMART, NCQ and Trim technologies. Provides decent sequential read/write speeds (520/480 Mbps) and low latency. The guaranteed recording resource claimed by the manufacturer is 80 TB, which is equivalent to recording 20 GB of data daily for 10 years.

Size matters

Solid-state drives with M.2 interface have recently ceased to be a curiosity, and the standards for them have managed to settle down. But now we will look at an unusual compact model that can come in handy if there is very little free space left in the case.

Size is the first thing that catches your eye when you see the packaging of the Transcend MTS420. The length is 4 cm, against the standard 8 cm for most M.2 drives. Other than that, it's a regular 3D NAND-based SSD with decent speeds (520MB/s read and 480MB/s write), 240GB of storage, and a couple of little tricks in the arsenal. The first trick is the DevSleep mode, which allows you to completely turn off the power of the SATA interface, while maintaining the possibility of its online activation in less than 20 milliseconds. This helps to extend the laptop's battery life.

Proprietary SSD Scope software

The second focus is the presence of proprietary SSD Scope software, designed to make life easier for the user in every possible way. For example, update the firmware, test the health of the disk, completely erase data, clone the disk, or clone a specific partition. The last thing is useful for those who want to plug the Transcend MTS420 into a computer and use it as a system disk without reinstalling the operating system and dancing with a tambourine.

Of the weaknesses of the Transcend MTS420, one can single out not the highest read IOPS of 40,000. This means that the disk is relatively slow with ultra-small random files. However, this indicator is much more critical for writing than reading.
