Review on Transcend 128GB MTS830S SATA ๐Ÿ’พ III 6GB/s M.2 Solid State Drive by Jarrett Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hot temperature during startup. You need a heatsink.

When Windows starts, the drive reaches 59-63ยฐC. After Windows runs stably, the drive's temperature still reaches 41 to 55 ยฐC. It's not NVME and 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
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Power outlet required
