SSD Transcend 1 TB M.2 PCI Express 4.0 NVMe 3D NAND model 240S

The Transcend 240S 1 TB M.2 PCI Express 4.0 NVMe SSD is a compact high-capacity storage drive designed for system upgrades and new builds. Utilizing 3D NAND flash memory and the M.2 form factor, this SSD delivers increased storage density in a small footprint while leveraging the PCIe 4.0 NVMe interface to improve sequential and random transfer performance. With 1 TB of usable capacity, the drive accommodates large applications, game libraries and media collections while maintaining a low physical weight for easy installation in laptops and desktops that support M.2 modules.

Advantages

The drive combines 3D NAND technology with PCIe 4.0 bandwidth to provide higher sustained read and write throughput compared with older SATA and PCIe 3.0 solutions. Its M.2 format enables direct motherboard installation without additional cables, saving space and simplifying upgrades. The 1 TB capacity offers a balance between storage volume and performance for demanding applications and large file sets. Low weight and compact size make the SSD suitable for portable systems and compact desktops.

Suitable for

• Upgrading laptop or desktop storage to improve boot and application load times
• Installing modern games, creative applications and working with large project files
• System builders seeking compact, high-capacity NVMe storage for M.2 slots

Key specifications

• Storage capacity: 1 TB
• Form factor: M.2
• Interface: PCI Express 4.0, NVMe protocol
• Flash type: 3D NAND
• Weight: approximately 0.01 kg

How to use

Install the M.2 SSD into an available M.2 slot on a compatible motherboard following the board manufacturer’s installation instructions. Secure the module with the mounting screw and ensure the system firmware/BIOS recognizes the drive. After physical installation, initialize and format the SSD within the operating system’s disk management utility or use cloning software to migrate an existing system. For optimal performance, enable NVMe and PCIe 4.0 support in firmware settings where applicable.

Recommendations

Place the SSD in an M.2 slot with direct motherboard cooling if available, and avoid occupying slots that share bandwidth with other high-speed devices to maintain peak throughput. Keep firmware updated and use the operating system’s recommended alignment and TRIM support to sustain long-term performance and endurance.
