SSD Transcend 500 GB M.2 PCI Express 3.0 NVMe QLC 3D-NAND model 110Q

Transcend PCIe SSD 110Q is an NVMe M.2 drive that uses QLC 3D NAND to increase storage density and supports read/write intensive workloads. With a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface, the drive delivers sequential read speeds up to 2,000 MB/s and write speeds up to 1,500 MB/s. Available in 500 GB and 1 TB capacities, the SSD 110Q is an economical option for upgrading laptops and desktops that require higher storage capacity and faster data transfer.

Advantages

The SSD combines NVMe 1.3 compatibility with a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface to utilize four lanes for simultaneous data transfer, resulting in higher throughput and lower latency compared with SATA drives. QLC 3D NAND increases bit density by stacking four bits per cell, enabling larger capacities in a compact M.2 form factor. The drive also features low power consumption for efficient operation and comes with Transcend’s SSD Scope software for health monitoring, firmware updates, TRIM support and data migration.

Key specifications

• Form factor: M.2 (NVMe)
• Interface: PCIe Gen3 x4, NVMe 1.3
• NAND type: QLC 3D NAND
• Sequential read speed: up to 2,000 MB/s

How to use

Install the M.2 SSD into a compatible M.2 PCIe slot on your motherboard or supported laptop following the device manufacturer’s installation instructions. After physical installation, initialize and format the drive in the operating system if required, then install the operating system or transfer data. For best performance, enable NVMe in BIOS/UEFI when applicable and use Transcend SSD Scope to enable TRIM and keep firmware up to date.

Recommendations

Use the PCIe SSD 110Q for capacity-focused upgrades where high-density QLC storage and improved sequential performance are priorities. For workloads with extremely heavy sustained writes, consider suitability of QLC NAND and evaluate endurance requirements relative to your use case.
