Package Content & Design
Transcend 830S M.2 SSD comes with a much simpler packaging this round. Well protected as usual. No user manual but all the info is located at the package. Comes in 4 capacities to choose - 128GB - TS128GMTS830S, 256GB - TS256GMTS830S, 512GB - TS512GMTS830S and 1TB - TS1TMTS830S. Read/write performance is different between capacity. Do take note...

Build quality is great. Back with 5 years warranty this round. Extra 2 years when compared to 820S. Again, its ultra compact dimensions are perfect for Ultrabooks and thin, light notebooks. And virtually does not add any weight to your laptop with just 9g. Of course, it is usable on desktop PC as well.
