Review: Great drive. Great Price. Works as advertised. - Got it on a New Years special. Great drive for the price. I'm getting the posted speeds which is a major plus. Put into a new PC and installed windows from USB in under a minute. Can't speak to the life of the drive as I've only used it a short time. Wish I could get some M2 storage.

Review: Great bang for the buck! - Transcend has been in the SSD game since it started! I work as a computer repair/upgrade tech from home and I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality and speed of Transcend SSD drives. In the past 18 months I have replaced 5 or 6 old laptop and desktop hard drives with these SSD drives. Their reliability rating rivals Samsung for a fraction of the price. Speed tests usually show 550MBps read and 400+MBps write. Most laptop drives have a hard time pushing anything over 100MBps read and write. This helps for fast boot times and quicker launching programs. I have replaced these drives on everything from a low-end AMD E3 processor to an Intel Core i7. Obviously the better the processor the quicker the system. I have had zero problems or failures of these drives to date. I highly recommend this product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work for a macbook pro 15 in, from early 2009?**
A: This will fit the 15 inch early 2009 MacBook Pro.  You will need a small phillips screwdriver and a T6 hex screwdriver to do the swap.  The T6 hex is so you can transfer the mounting screws from the HDD to the SSD.  The only concern I have is that your laptop uses SATA2 (3Gb/s), so you will not be able to utilize the full read or write speeds of this drive.  You will still get some of the benefits of an SSD over a HDD (faster boot, faster app launch, better battery life), so doing the upgrade won't be an absolute loss.

**Q: What is the difference between tlc and mlc?**
A: TLC (Triple-Level Cells) and MLC (Multi-Level Cells) are different flash memory technology to store number of bits per cell. TLC stores 3-bits per cell while MLC stores 2-bits per cell. The key differences are price (TLC is cheaper than MLC for the same storage capacity) and durability (TLC has lower erase cycles than MLC which translates to shorter lifespan). However, with new TLC intelligent controller technologies, TLC behaves like MLC in performance and durability (measured in Terabytes Written (TBW) and Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD)) while offering lower $/GB.

**Q: This ssd is for a standard pc, ie not a laptop**
A: This drive fits a laptop (2.5" size); mines installed in my ASUS i3 laptop.  But there isn't any reason it won't fit in a standard PC with the right mounting hardware (2.5" to 3.5" mounting frame).  The speed difference will blow you away. Good Luck.

**Q: Any software or one lime license to clone the existing drive to it?**
A: I used the free edition of Macrium Reflect. I have also used Clonezilla in the past, but Reflect has a more user-friendly gui.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast enough for what I need
*by M***A on February 27, 2017*

I have been buying Transcend disks for several years now, solid state, flash memory and spinners. I have found them to be reliable, less expensive than the big name brands, but also somewhat slower, so I buy them when speed is not that important to me. When speed is important I usually buy Samsung, but expect to pay a noticeable premium for that extra speed. I bought this drive as an external usb3 drive for a MacBook Air and enclosed it in a UASP optimized enclosure to use it to store digital photos when I travel. I have run speed tests on it and confirmed that it is somewhat slower (about 25% for writing, about the same for reading) than a similar Samsung SSD that I use on my main desktop for photo processing, but fast enough for what I want to do, and considerably less expensive than the Samsung. I have not noticed any of my Transcend drives becoming hot when used and, being solid state, they can be moved even when data is being written to or read from them. I use Transcend products in my digital camera, as auxiliary memory (the Transcend JetDrive) in my MacBook Pro and now as added memory to my traveling laptop and have never had an issue with any of the Transcend products. As I mentioned, they are not as fast as some of the more expensive products, but fast enough for use when the load is not too heavy and speed is not that important.
