Transcend PCIe SSD 110S
82 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
Users generally praise this Transcend NVMe SSD for its value, reliability, and performance, especially in budget builds and Raspberry Pi setups. Long-term use reports highlight its durability, with one user running it for over six years. However, some note it runs hot without a heatsink, lacks mounting screws, and Transcend's SSD Scope cloning software caused issues for one user.
