Power Consumption
As Transcend disabled device initiated power magament (i.e. DIPM), the slumber power consumption is significantly higher compared to drives that have DIPM enabled. For desktops that isn't a big deal because there is no battery life concern, but laptop users are better off with a drive that properly supports DIPM.
Power consumption under load is also a bit high given that many modern drives are able to stay below 3W.

Compared to other SSDs power consumption of SSD370 is high, as seen in review. What about comparing it to regular HDDs? As I understand, it's the same. I'm asking because I'm considering replacing regular HDD in my laptop with SSD370 256. So my battery life will remain the same? It won't be shortened?amirzz - Thursday, December 24, 2015 - link

You really should provide screenshots of actual capacities in these reviews. There can be easily ~10GB difference in capacity between brands/models even when labelled similarly, at ~240-256GB capacities.lenberg - Thursday, September 15, 2016 - link
Does anyone know how to align partitions in this ssd properly?What are the NAND Erase Block Size and NAND Page Size?
