For just $179, below its 30-day average of $227.60. Over the past 90 days, this drive has averaged $157.22, but it's been trending upward recently. The current price sits $48.60 under what it's been selling for over the last month.

What You're Getting

The Transcend MTE410S uses the compact 2242 form factor, measuring just 42mm long with a single-sided design. It's built for upgrading ultrabooks, lightweight notebooks, and handheld gaming PCs like the Lenovo Legion Go or Steam Deck (with an adapter).

Performance hits up to 5,000 MB/s read and 4,300 MB/s write speeds via PCIe Gen4x4 and NVMe 1.4. The drive is designed as a non-DRAM, energy-efficient SSD to help preserve battery life in portable devices.

Transcend includes its SSD Scope software for health monitoring, performance optimization, and data cloning. Durability comes from 3D NAND flash with a 2,000,000-hour MTBF rating and a five-year limited warranty.

Who This Is For

Best for: owners of Lenovo Legion Go, Steam Deck (with adapter), Yoga Gen 6, ultrabooks, or mini PCs who need more storage. This drive makes sense if your device has the 2242 M.2 slot and you want Gen4 speeds without sacrificing battery life.

The Caveat

The 2242 form factor limits your upgrade options compared to the more common 2280 size. While performance is solid for Gen4, some competing drives in the 2280 size may offer better value per gigabyte.

Final Verdict

At $179, this Transcend SSD delivers Gen4 speeds in a compact package for specific devices that need the 2242 size. If you're upgrading a Legion Go, Steam Deck, or compatible ultrabook, this price beats what you'd typically pay.

Wait if your device supports 2280 drives, as you'll have more choices.
