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

    • I'm writing this after only a day with the drive installed in my Acer C720 which running Linux, so far it works, at least after disabling ALPM.I actually had the MyDigitalSSD SC2 drive which failed miserably after a little more than a month of use, and cost me in data loss (I just binned it and didn't get an RMA due to reading about other failing MyDigitalSSD drives).So my only wish is that the drive won't fail a few months from now, gonna update this later if the Transcend will continue to work correctly (or if it will fail).Update: Almost two months of daily use and the drive still works great.
    • Usual great Transcend quality.
    • The Transcend, though, has been pretty reliable for me
    • The Transcend MTS400 256GB is not a blazing fast M.2 SSD, especially with smaller files, nor is it the most durable given it is MLC structure
    • I am using Linux kernel 3.13.0-37 AMD64 which supports this Transcend SSD immediately
    • This Transcend SSD works right out of the box with GNU/Linux so long as you are using a modern Linux kernel

    • Everything works as it should and I am happy
    • Writing times is not as fast (around 150 mb/s) , but once you install your apps and OS you will be most of the time reading and not writing onto it.
