The Transcend SSD230 SATA III 6Gb/s SSD utilizes the latest 3D NAND technology, where memory cells are stacked vertically. By using high-quality flash chips and improved firmware algorithms, the SSD230 offers enhanced performance and reliability.

Unlike existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory where memory cells are stacked in multiple layers. 3D NAND was developed to overcome the density limitations of 2D planar NAND and achieve a higher level of performance and endurance.

The Transcend SSD230 is equipped with a DDR3 DRAM cache that provides 4K random read and write performance of up to 340 MB/s, making it the perfect choice as a boot disk for everyday computing tasks and applications. Utilizing the SATA III 6Gb/s interface and integrated SLC cache technology, the SSD230 achieves exceptional transfer speeds of up to 560 MB/s for reading and 520 MB/s for writing.

In addition to its rapid transfer speeds, the SSD230 features a RAID engine and LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) coding, a powerful ECC algorithm, to ensure data security. The integrated wear-leveling technology maintains data integrity during transfers and extends the lifespan of the drive.

With full support for the SATA Device Sleep (DevSleep) mode, the SSD230 can prolong the lifespan of your notebook battery by intelligently shutting down the SATA interface when not in use. DevSleep turns off the SATA interface when idle, saving battery power. With an impressive response time of less than 20 milliseconds, you can get back to work immediately.
