Review: Great little SSD - Solid upgrade at a great price. I’d been battling with a cramped 16GB SSD on a modded Chromebook running Linux as a Plex server, so this was a welcome improvement. At just £19 when I picked it up, it’s excellent value—especially for a less common SATA standard in such a compact form factor. I chose the same make and model as the original for peace of mind, and cloning the drive went smoothly. It's now running perfectly with no noticeable performance drop—and the added capacity makes a world of difference.
Review: Works perfectly - Works great as a 2nd hard drive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little SSD
*by D***S on 19 June 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly

Works great as a 2nd hard drive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A quality M.2 SSD, a product which you can trust
*by L***O on 22 March 2019*

I wanted an SSD for my HP Mini 300-050 Desktop computer which had an empty M.2 slot. It already had a hard-drive but I wanted to move the operating system onto an SSD to improve performance. I have had Transcend products before and always found them to be reliable. So in my search for a small form factor 22x42 which was the only card size my computer could fit, I found this trusty Transcend SSD card at a very affordable price. It is working perfectly and operates between 35 and 55degrees C. The startup times are transformed and other operations are swift. A great product.
