Transcend SSD 220S 480GB SATA III 2.5 Inch Internal

Transcend 480GB SATA SSD Overview:

The Transcend 480GB SATA SSD from Transcend quickly delivers 480GB of storage capacity by offering transfer speeds of up to 530 MB/s. This drive is equipped with solid-state technology to accelerate system boot times and application loading times. Moreover, this technology enables it to achieve read speeds of up to 530 MB/s and write speeds up to 440 MB/s.

The Transcend 480GB SATA SSD is compatible with notebooks and desktops that feature a SATA III interface as well as an available 2.5" drive bay. To ensure reliability, the SSD sports flash-based chips and enhanced firmware algorithms. Other notable features include DevSleep support as well as an SSD Scope app, which monitors the SSD's health status, enables the TRIM command and keeps the firmware up-to-date.

3D expansion to break through limits

Unlike planar NAND memory, 3D NAND flash features memory cells stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND overcomes density limitations of 2D planar NAND, and delivers a higher level of performance and endurance.

Transfer Speed

• DDR3 DRAM cache provides 4K random read and write performance of up to 330 MB/s
• Built with SLC caching technology, the drive achieves up to 550 MB/s read and 450 MB/s write speeds

Endurance & Reliability

• Keeps your data secure with RAID engine and LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) coding, which is an ECC algorithm
• Built-in wear-leveling technology ensures data integrity during transmission, prolonging the lifespan of the SSD

Saves Power & Time

• With full support of SATA Device Sleep Mode (DevSleep), the drive prolongs the notebook's battery life by intelligently shutting down the SATA interface when it is not in use
• DevSleep features a low-power state to conserve battery power
• With a response time of less than 20ms, you can get back to work nearly instantaneously

SSD Scope

• Monitor your SSD's health status with S.M.A.R.T. technology
• Enable the TRIM command for optimum write speeds
• Update firmware
• Migrate data from your original drive

Slim & Portable

• 2.5" form factor
• Measures just 6.8mm in height and only weighs 2oz. for sleek computing devices such as Ultrabooks
