Transcend's SSD230 SATA III 6Gb/s SSD is based on 3D NAND technology, which allows for the use of more memory cells by stacking them vertically. By exclusively utilizing the highest quality chips and advanced firmware algorithms, the SSD230 ensures excellent performance and durability.

Unlike existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND technology enables memory chips where the memory cells are arranged vertically. 3D NAND was developed to overcome the spatial limitations of 2D planar NANDs, achieving a higher level of performance and endurance.

The Transcend SSD230 is equipped with a DDR3 DRAM cache, allowing for read/write speeds of up to 340 MB/s for 4K blocks in random read/write operations. Consequently, the SSD is ideal for use as a boot drive, loading the operating system and programs in just a few seconds. Thanks to the SATA III 6Gb/s interface and the use of an SLC cache, the SSD230 achieves speeds of up to 560 MB/s for reading and 520 MB/s for writing data.

In addition to extremely high transfer speeds, Transcend's SSD230 offers high data integrity thanks to a RAID and LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) engine, a particularly effective error correction algorithm. The integrated wear-leveling function also ensures a longer lifespan for your SSD.

The SSD230 supports the SATA Device Sleep mode (DevSleep), extending your laptop's battery life when the SSD is not in use. DevSleep features an ultra-low power state, resulting in savings on battery consumption as the SATA interface is completely powered down. With an impressive response time of under 20 ms, the computer can quickly return to operational mode.
