Features
Superior upgrade option
Transcend’s mSATA SSD 230S adopts the SATA III 6Gb/s interface, DDR3 DRAM cache, and a powerful controller, providing ultra-fast transfer speeds of up to 550MB/s read and 400MB/s write for faster boot time and application launching time.
Up to 256GB capacity
Transcend’s mSATA SSD 230S provides up to 256GB capacity, giving you more options to suit your demands while storing large multimedia files and applications in faster speeds.
Speed up loading times
Dedicated to maximizing high-performance computing, the mSATA SSD 230S features maximum 4K random file read 55,000 IOPS and write 70,000 IOPS that delivers incredibly short loading times and almost instant response for heavy graphics and multimedia applications.
3D expansion to break through limits
Unlike the existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which the memory cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND is developed to break through density limitations of the 2D planar NAND, and thus can deliver a greater level of performance and endurance.
Save power. Fast response.
The mSATA SSD 230S supports the Device Sleep Mode (DevSleep), a useful power-saving feature that allows compatible mobile devices to completely power off the SATA interface when not in use while maintaining a fast response time.
A new level of reliability
The mSATA SSD 230S comes equipped with practical features, such as block management, built-in LDPC ECC, advanced wear-leveling, enhanced S.M.A.R.T., TRIM and NCQ commands.

Msata 256GB. Worked as expected
Relatively simple to install but note that there is no securing screws which can be an issue if you don’t have them for your motherboard. I understand why they are not included since motherboards differ in terms of screw size needed.Windows 10 identified the drive without issue during a fresh install. Now Windows starts 80% faster and is much more responsive. So a good value upgrade to an aging PC.
Best I could find for vintage laptop
Bought this to upgrade a vintage laptop from it’s 4GB IDE hard drive to solid state for greater capacity, reliability and speed, in conjunction with this IDE to MSATA adapter:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07H7K7VBP/This was the only trusted SSD brand I could find in small capacities. I didn’t want to use any greater capacity in case the laptop didn’t recognise it.The SSD was clearly much faster when I was restoring the data to it from a newer, host PC, but in the vintage laptop the speed was not much greater. Of course it’s limited by the controller speed and old CPU. But it is silent and 16x more space!
From Cold To Working In Less Than One Minute
I was having issues with the computer as the old HDD was starting to break down. I replaced it with a new HDD then replaced that with this SSD device. An ancient Lenovo AIO computer, now boots up, loads my programs and documents and I’m working in less than one minute. This means I can turn the computer off when not using it, even just a quick lunch, and save a shed load of power too.
Fast, plug and play. Needs to be initialized unlike external drives
Installed it in less than a minute, opened disk management which immediately recognized the storage. It requested to initialize which I did, and now about to install windows on it as the primary boot device. Can’t wait for the speed gains as I am also upgrading the process!! Was on a budget so I bought the 256 GB which is enough for OS. I just have to be disciplined to dump all other stuff into the internal 1TB HDD which will now be for file storage.

UPDATE 25/11/2022 – Transend have agreed the product is not fit for purpose in my scenario. I asked if they might exchange it the MLC version of the drive. Unfortunately they want me to pay them for the privilege, and for the same cost, I can just purchase the 128GB Integral item so I declined. No response since…Over a year later and on my third RMA item from Transend I cannot recomend this at all.System is pfSense on an embedded NUC. Transend have replaced twice – all three drives raise the same errors in pfSense logs. Have updated BIOS, tried everything, but I also replicated the issue in windows with the first device and a USB adapter (picture).Wasted far too much time on replacement drive so I would recomend going straight to the Integral INSSD256GMSA drive which I have found no such issues with.————————–Mar 10 14:00:06 gw1 kernel: ada0 at ahcich0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0Mar 10 14:00:06 gw1 kernel: ada0:
Works As Expected
Installed into my Lenovo ThinkPad X230 as the main drive and using a SATA drive for data.So far no issues with the drive at all, the laptop feels snappy and boot times, data copying etc are nice and fast.
Very good quality
Exactly as described
Not worth it
My laptop doesn’t recognise it as SATA memory just ATA and states it needs a power supply for it to work properly
Have used this TRANSCEND TS128GMSA230S SSD with a no-name brand, (TrotWei Blue, if you must know) 44-pin IDE male to mSATA mini PCI-E female adaptor to serve as the internal boot drive of a COMPAQ M2220AP laptop. With or without the SSD, the maximum Z-height of the adaptor is 6mm (the internal HDD cavity for this model of laptop has a maximum allowable Z-height of 9·5mm). The SSD appears to work well with the adaptor and the laptop can boot as per normal. The SSD does seem to get uncomfortably hot when actively reading/writing, so those who are inclined to use laptop keyboards, or those who literally place the laptop on their laps should take note accordingly.
Inga problem.
Buen desempeño
منتج جيد والبائع جيد وكان الشحن سريع شكرا
EクラスのW212 NTG4.5 のナビHDD(IDE 44PIN 2.5inch)をSSD化するためにIDE(to mSATA)ケースに入る mSATAを探していましたが、どの製品も実績がないので、耐久性のなさそうな製品を避け、トランセンドのこの製品を選択しました。結果、しっかりと認識され静音、発熱少なく 耐久性もよさそうです。利用したIDEケースは、Thinaokii MSATA – 2.5インチ 44PIN IDE HDD SSD アダプター MSATA – PATA コンバーターアダプターです。実績ありでしたのでこのケースを選び、このmSATAとの組合せで実績ができました。
