Review on Transcend 512GB M.2 SSD TS512GMTS830S - SATA III 6Gb/s, 80mm, 830S Solid State Drive by Ralph Gerry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hot temperature during startup. You need a heatsink.

Windows starts and the drive reaches 59 to 63 °C. When Windows stabilizes, the drive will still reach 41 to 55 C. It's not NVME and it's already hot. (I have a Samsung and aData m2 SSD in 128G with no heat issues.) As a result, I added a heatsink. With a heat sink, the temperature drops from 5 to 10 C.

Pros
  • 3D NAND Flash
Cons
  • Functionality
