Transcend SSD230 256 GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Internal - SATA (SATA/600)

The Transcend SSD230 256GB SATA III 6Gb/s internal solid state drive is designed for high-performance and reliable storage in ultrabooks and mainstream computers. Featuring the latest 3D NAND technology, this drive stacks memory cells vertically, enabling higher density, improved endurance, and enhanced speed compared to traditional planar NAND. This architecture allows the SSD230 to deliver superior performance and longevity, making it a dependable choice for demanding computing environments. Built with high-quality flash chips and an advanced firmware, the SSD230 ensures consistent performance and data integrity over time.

Equipped with a DDR3 DRAM cache, the SSD230 offers exceptional transfer speeds, achieving up to 560MB/s read and 520MB/s write speeds. Its 4K random read and write performance can reach up to 340MB/s, which makes it suitable for boot drives and running applications efficiently. The inclusion of SLC caching technology further optimizes data transfer rates, providing a smooth user experience even during intensive tasks. The drive is engineered with a RAID engine and LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) coding, which work together to safeguard your data through error correction and secure transmission, while built-in wear-leveling technology extends the lifespan of the SSD.

Designed for power efficiency, the SSD230 supports SATA Device Sleep Mode (DevSleep), allowing your ultrabook or laptop to conserve battery life by shutting down the SATA interface when not in use. This ultra-low power mode responds in less than 20 milliseconds, enabling quick resumption of activity. To maintain optimal performance and health, Transcend offers the SSD Scope software, which allows users to monitor drive health via S.M.A.R.T., enable TRIM commands for faster write speeds, update firmware, and effortlessly migrate data from existing drives. Its compact 2.5-inch form factor measures just 6.8mm in height and weighs approximately 2.22 ounces, making it an ideal upgrade for ultra-thin devices and portable computers. The SSD230 supports multiple features including NCQ, TRIM, and shock resistance, ensuring reliable operation in various environments. Backed by a three-year limited warranty, this drive is a robust and efficient storage solution backed by Transcend's commitment to quality and performance.
