Transcend MTE410S 1TB M.2 2242 NVMe SSD
1TBPCIe Gen4 NVMeUp to 5000MB/sCompact M.2 2242
The Transcend MTE410S 1TB, part number TS1TMTE410S, is a compact internal M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 NVMe solid state drive with reads up to 5,000MB/s, designed for the smaller 42mm M.2 slot found in handheld gaming PCs, ultrabooks, tablets and mini PCs. It uses 3D TLC NAND in a power-efficient, single-sided design built for tight spaces.
With sequential reads up to 5,000MB/s and writes up to 3,500MB/s, the MTE410S brings fast Gen4 NVMe storage to devices that cannot fit a full-length 2280 drive, such as the Steam Deck (with adapter), ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. Carrying EAN 0760557865322 and MPN TS1TMTE410S, it offers a high 600 TBW endurance rating and a 5-year limited warranty. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility note
This is a compact M.2 2242 drive (22mm wide x 42mm long) — it fits short 2242 M.2 NVMe slots, not the longer 2280 slots used in most desktops. For handhelds such as the Steam Deck it may require the device’s 2242 mounting or a suitable adapter. It requires a PCIe NVMe slot (backward compatible with Gen3 at reduced speed) and will not work in SATA-only M.2 slots. Always confirm your device accepts a 2242-length NVMe module.
Best For
✓ Handheld gaming PCs (Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go)
✓ Ultrabooks and thin-and-light laptops with 2242 slots
✓ Tablets and mini PCs
✓ Compact embedded and industrial systems
✓ Fast game and OS storage in tight spaces
✓ Low-power, cool-running NVMe upgrades
Key Features
Compact M.2 2242 form factor
At just 42mm long, the MTE410S fits the short M.2 slots in handhelds, ultrabooks and mini PCs where a full 2280 drive will not go.
Gen4 speeds up to 5,000MB/s
PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe performance with reads up to 5,000MB/s and writes up to 3,500MB/s keeps game loading and file transfers fast.
High 600 TBW endurance
3D TLC NAND with a 600 TBW endurance rating and a 2,000,000-hour MTBF gives this small drive plenty of write headroom.
Power-efficient single-sided design
A single-sided, DRAM-less design runs cool and sips power, ideal for battery-powered handhelds and slim laptops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Transcend MTE410S fit my device?
It fits devices with a short M.2 2242 NVMe slot, such as many handheld gaming PCs, ultrabooks, tablets and mini PCs. It is not the common 2280 length used in most desktops. Confirm your device specifically accepts a 2242-length NVMe module (or uses an adapter) before buying.
Can I use the MTE410S in a Steam Deck or ROG Ally?
Yes — the 2242 form factor matches these handhelds. The Steam Deck uses 2230 by default but accepts 2242 with the right mounting/adapter, while devices like the ROG Ally and Legion Go take 2242 directly. Always check your specific model’s slot length.
Why choose a 2242 drive over a standard 2280?
You choose 2242 only when your device physically requires the shorter length. Most desktops and many laptops take the longer 2280 size, but compact and handheld devices need 2242. The MTE410S brings Gen4 speed and 1TB capacity to those smaller slots.
What do I need to know before buying the MTE410S 1TB?
Confirm your device has a 2242 M.2 NVMe slot and a way to clone or reinstall your operating system. It is a DRAM-less, single-sided drive rated for a high 600 TBW with a 2,000,000-hour MTBF and a 5-year limited warranty.
Singular Expert Insight
The MTE410S fills a specific and valuable niche: fast 1TB Gen4 storage in the compact 2242 size that handhelds, ultrabooks and mini PCs require, where most NVMe drives are simply too long to fit. With a generous 600 TBW rating and a 5-year warranty it is well-suited to gaming handhelds and small systems. Just be certain your device takes 2242 — if it uses the standard 2280 slot, a full-size drive like the Kingston NV3 or WD_BLACK SN7100 will be cheaper or faster. Browse our full range across

Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
Your handheld, ultrabook or mini PC needs a compact 2242 NVMe drive, and you want fast Gen4 speed, 1TB of space and a 5-year warranty in a small form factor.
Skip it if
Your device uses the standard 2280 slot (a full-size drive is cheaper or faster), or it only takes 2230, or it is a SATA-only M.2 slot.
Also consider
MTE410S in other capacities for the same 2242 slot, or a 2280 drive like the Kingston NV3 / WD_BLACK SN7100 if your device takes the longer size.
