Ultra-Compact SSD for Thin Devices
The Transcend MTE410S is a 256 GB solid-state drive built on the M.2 2242 form factor measuring 42 mm in length. Its PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe interface and 3D TLC flash deliver sequential speeds up to 3300 MB/s. The DRAM-less design keeps power draw low, making it suited for ultra-thin laptops, tablets, handheld gaming PCs and mini PCs that have a short M.2 slot.
Best for Space-Constrained Upgrades
This drive fits devices that only accept the shorter 2242 module length and benefit from reduced power consumption. Buyers whose systems require a longer module or a different electrical interface should look at other options. The five-year limited warranty covers typical consumer workloads in supported hardware.
Deciding Specification: 42 mm Module Length
The 42 mm physical length is the single attribute that determines whether this SSD will install in your device. Verify that your laptop, tablet or mini PC explicitly supports the M.2 2242 form factor before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How much heat or power draw should I expect from the MTE410S running all day in a compact ultra-thin laptop?
The DRAM-less design lowers power consumption to extend battery life, and the single-sided 42 mm form factor fits tight thermal envelopes without active cooling.
What slot and keying does my device need so the 2242 MTE410S will actually work?
An M.2 2242 key-M slot wired for PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe is required; the drive is single-sided and 42 mm long.
Will the MTE410S slow down if I pair it with an older PCIe Gen 3 controller in my Mini PC?
The SSD is backward compatible and will operate at Gen 3 speeds when the host only supports PCIe Gen 3x4.
