Transcend Introduces 1TB M.2 Solid State Drive for Ultra-thin Computing Systems

Transcend recently introduced the 1TB M.2 Solid State Drive. This spacious SSD comes with 2280 form factor and is apparently designed for ultra-thin computing devices, such as Ultrabook, tablet computers and laptops.

Equipped with high-quality MLC NAND flash, the Transcend MTS800 M.2 SSD offers excellent stability and comes with in-built protective technologies such as Global Wear-leveling, Advanced Garbage Collection, and Device Sleep mode.

Utilizing next-generation SATA III 6Gb/s interface, Transcend MTS800 delivers sequential read/write performance of up to 560MB/s and 460MB/s respectively and is designed for both industrial users and budget conscious individual consumers

Inbuilt Protective Technologies on the MTS800 offer optimum protection, including Error Correction Code (ECC) that helps detect and correct potential transfer errors, Device Sleep mode to reduce power consumption and shorten the response time upon wake-up from Sleep or Hibernate, and the S.M.A.R.T. function to efficiently monitor SSD health conditions.

Additionally, on board standard mechanisms on the MTS800 include Intelligent Block Management and Wear-leveling algorithm to protect data integrity and prolong SSD lifespan.

Transcend’s MTS series supports Intel® Smart Response Technology (ISRT) in which an SSD is used as a cache between the hard disk drive and the computer system to memorize the applications and files that are most frequently accessed. This allows the hard disk more storage capacity to process and store other programs and files so as to improve the overall efficiency.

The MTS 800 is backed by Transcend Three-year Limited Warranty.
