Description
Transcend MTE480T is a compact M.2 2242 NVMe solid-state drive designed to deliver responsive storage for compact systems, embedded applications, and performance-focused laptops. It provides fast sequential and random access for quicker boot times, snappier application launches, and smoother file transfers, supported by PCI Express 4.0 x4 bandwidth and up to 5,000 MBps read and 4,100 MBps write performance. The drive balances speed with endurance and reliability, offering 256 GB capacity, 3D TLC NAND with advanced wear-leveling, an endurance rating equivalent to 1.2 DWPD and 2,640 TB total writes, and an MTBF of 3,000,000 hours to help extend service life in demanding environments. Security and data protection are integrated with hardware 256-bit AES encryption, TCG Opal 2.0 self-encrypting drive support, and Power Shield technology, while thermal sensor monitoring, dynamic thermal throttling, and anti-sulfur protection help maintain stable operation across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.
