SSD-asema Transcend 256 GB M.2 6 Gbit/s TS256GMTS830S

Transcend's ultra-compact M.2 SSD 830S (SATA III 6Gb/s) is designed for small form factor devices such as Ultrabooks and thin notebooks. Using 3D NAND flash, high-quality memory chips, DDR3 DRAM cache and optimized firmware algorithms, the M.2 SSD 830S delivers reliable performance in a compact M.2 Type 2242/2280 form factor.

Advantages

3D NAND architecture increases storage density, endurance and performance compared to planar NAND. The 80 mm M.2 (2280) size suits space-constrained systems and enables easy upgrades. With SATA III 6Gb/s interface, the drive reaches sequential read/write speeds up to 560/520 MB/s and offers high 4K random IOPS for faster application loading. Built-in DDR3 DRAM cache and firmware features such as ECC, garbage collection and wear-leveling improve responsiveness and prolong drive life. Transcend provides SSD Scope software for condition monitoring and performance optimization.
