    Transcend 256GB SATA III 6Gb/s MTS400 42 mm M.2 SSD Solid State Drive (TS256GMTS400)

    • This drive could fail at any moment and you wouldn't have the slightest warning
    • The only question is how durable will this drive will be over time being that I am literally downloading and uploading with it 24/7
    • Fantastic drive
    • It is has been 6 months since installing M.2 drive, and I have had not issues like crashing or heat generation by M.2 drive
    • I have read reviews and forums stating that the M.2 2242 drives are overheating and having issues
    • Drive is now invisible even to the BIOS
    • In BIOS, I enable "legacy" option within Boot Mode; I enable "USB Port" within Port Options; and enable "M.2 SSD Hard Drive" within Legacy Boot Order
    • Transcend provides a much faster drive than the one included, though any SSD performs to my speed requirements just fine, i will return to report a drive failure if it occurs
    • A SATA III SSD can make a 4 GB system run like an 8 GB system with the old school SATA hard drive, and this computer is good proof of that
    • A very handy boot drive for my ASRock FX990 Fatality board
    • The BIOS or something wants to make it a cache drive when another hard drive is plugged in
    • Drive would hang consistently as a second SSD in a Lenovo Yoga 12.
    • I can also actually get some decent FPS using this laptop with some of my games that are hard-drive intensive.
    • Even after disabling power management the drive just now died on me again.
    • I'm hoping that there's a firmware update for the hard drive
    • Fast drive for the price
    • Anybody looking into expanding their chromebook storage space, please note that this drive has many issues
    • The drive was easy to install, launch drive management and format the drive and you have a second drive.
    • The drive stays cool even at peak usage and data transfers are incredibly fast
    • Great drive, it more than doubles rated write speed, mine clocks in at 321126 which outperforms even the 60mm version of the same capacity that's rated faster @310 MBps
    • So far so good, very easy to install, just make sure you turn off Secure boot and, when installing Windows to it, remove the other hard drive until after installation
    • Now I use M.2 drive for application and use the laptop-bundled 320 GB hard disc drive for data
    • Speed is at least 3 times faster (as much as 250x faster for random queue test) than that of the 500 GB default hard drive that came with my 440s
    • I had to play with the system's BIOS to boot off of a portable CD drive
    • Upgraded the drive in a Dell Insprion Mini i3050 using this 128 GB drive
    • The drive doesn't even warm up under stress
    • Like results reported by other reviewers here, this drive is not reliable on a Thinkpad T450.
    • It is not as fast as a nvme drive
    • Nice drive, but had to return because I ordered M.2 instead of M... Poor me, but price and drive are nice.
    • Next is longevity, only time will tell how well this drive holds up
    • Great drive for a X1 Carbon upgrade
    • Awesome drive for my laptop
    • Good drive
    • I am visually challenged but it was very easy to install this drive in 5 minutes and working in 15 minutes
    • Installed the drive on my T440s and it worked fine for about a week
    • Had low expectations for this hard drive.
    • than throw away more money, I replaced the internal hard drive with a 1TB SSD
    • a fast shutdown (hibernate) did on oem 5400rpm hard drive.
    • If they send me a new one , do I really want to put another unreliable hard drive in my computer and risk losing everything again?Installed in a Lenovo W550.
    • Solid drive, fast reads, really slow
    • This drive is fast and I have had no issues with it.
    • Highly recommend this drive if you can use a M.2 upgrade, well worth it
    • The drive I received is defective
    • Bought this as a second hard drive for a Lenovo W540.
    • I used the spare radio card screw in my laptop to secure the drive.
    • MTS400 42 mm M.2 SSD Solid State Drive TS256GMTS400 as boot drive
    • I added this to my HP Zbook14 ultrabook workstation as a secondary hard drive to supplement the SSD in it now that has Windows 7 installed
    • I don't blame the drive for this because it was not specifically designed for my application and Chromebooks are not advertised as upgradable.
    • m.2 drive is recommended based on experience to date.
    • Works well in the Lenovo Yoga S1, I added it as a second drive, in addition to the 128GB that was in there before
    • This did not ship without the latest firmware, which is OK, but beware that updating the firmware will cause the drive to be unusable and you will be forced to reinstall!
