Transcend TS480GMTS420S 480GB M.2 Internal SSD

• M.2 / 42mm form factor for compact computing devices
• 3D NAND flash chips
• SATA III 6 Gb/s interface and SLC caching technology for fast transfer speeds
• Engineered with a RAID engine and LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) coding to help ensure data integrity
• Supports Device Sleep Mode (DevSleep) to help prolong notebook battery life by intelligently shutting down the SATA interface when it is not in use
• DDR3 DRAM cache
• Supports S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, and NCQ commands
• While there is a limited 3-year warranty, it does not apply when the SSD Scope’s wear-out indicator shows 0% within three years

Feature

3D expansion to break through limits

Unlike the existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which the memory cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND is developed to break through density limitations of the 2D planar NAND, and thus can deliver a greater level of performance and endurance.

 

Perfect for your Ultrabook

Compliant with M.2 form factors Type 2242 and 2280, Transcend’s 3D NAND M.2 SSDs are perfect for use in Ultrabooks and lightweight notebooks. Measured at just 42mm in length, the M.2 SSD 420S makes for an easy upgrade to your computer, taking up little space while giving it a much needed energy boost.

Superior transfer speeds

Featuring the M.2 standard (42mm), the next generation SATA III 6Gb/s interface and a powerful controller, Transcend’s M.2 SSD 420S reaches incredible read and write speeds of up to 530MB/s and 480MB/s. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 420S provides 1.5 times faster boot time than conventional hard drives.

High IOPS to speed up loading times

Dedicated to maximizing high-performance computing, the M.2 SSD 420S features 4k random file read and write speeds up to 75,000 IOPS that deliver incredibly short loading times and almost instant response for heavy graphics and multimedia applications.

Store more in less space

The M.2 form factor enables expansion and integration of functions onto a single form factor module solution. M.2 SSDs include a smaller form factor but with larger capacities than that of mSATA and half-slim SSDs.

Potent and feature-laden

Despite its extra-small dimensions, the M.2 SSD 420S contains advanced features to enhance the performance of the SSD. Engineered with a RAID engine and featuring built-in SLC caching technology, it utilizes LDPC coding to correct errors and ensure data integrity.
