PRODUCT DETAILS
Package content
The SSD M.2 Transcend MTS420S disk comes in a package with plastic and cardboard protection to avoid shocks in transport, the fixing screw is not included.

PERFORMANCE TEST
CrystalDiskInfo
First we check the data of the Transcend MTS420S SSD M.2 with the CrystalDiskInfo Software where we can see and contrast the specifications of this SSD M.2 SATA III. The data is correct and matches the advertised, we have 120 GB capacity and SATA / 600 interface with SMART, APM, NCQ and TRIM support.
CrystalDiskMark
We perform this classic test in the Transcend MTS420S where we can see that at the reading level maintains the type in front of a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB. At the level of sequential reading and writing it has good results for this format, there is something of a drop in the writing results in general.
Anvil’s Storage Utilities
We passed this test in the Transcend MTS420S and compared the results with the popular Samsung 850 EVO 250GB model. As we see the results are maintained and we are facing a SSD with good performance level.
AS SSD M.2 Benchmark
On the Transcend MTS420S we passed the AS SSD M.2 Benchmark test and compared it with the results of a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB disk. In this test the performance of this disk SSD M.2 we have similar results in reading and how it seemed are lower in writing in all aspects.
Benchmark
In this benchmark you can see how the Transcend MTS420S works against others SSD M.2 models that are now popular in the market. The values are correct, although in sequential writing they are somewhat lower, for the price is acceptable.
- Read/Write SEQ
These data refer to the processes we do when copying a specific file continuously, for example when copying or writing a large file such as movies or ISO discs. This value defines the continuous transfer rate, which is important for storage units. - Read/Write 4K
This data refers to the random accesses that the disk makes to files of size 4K. This data is significant because it defines for example how the OS can read system files or accessing small files, an important information to feel the system more fast.
CONCLUSIONS
Opinion
Aftet perform all tests on the Transcend MTS420S M.2 SSD, we can say that this is a product with a price and performance acceptable for classic use. We have correct results in sequential reading speeds and somewhat low in writing, no doubt any eMMC memory speed or mechanical HDD disk. Speeds that are similar to other SSD disks in the same format and that offer us a superior brand guarantee to Chinese models if we do not want to risk.
An SSD M.2 disk with a good price and correct features, if we want to expand a mini PC or a laptop with little internal memory in a simple way and it is an alternative if we are lucky with compatibility. You can compare this disk with other models of cheap SSD M.2 discs at Amazon.com or Newegg.com.
