Transcend TS512GMTS430S 430S 512GB SATA 6Gb/s M.2 2242 SSD

Transcend TS512GMTS430S 430S 512GB SATA 6Gb/s M.2 2242 SSD

Feature

Sporting an M.2 form factor and SATA III interface, you can install this drive in a wide range of devices. Quickly access and store data at read and write speeds of 560 and 500 MB/s, respectively. 3D NAND Flash and DDR3 DRAM cache work together to make information easily accessible, enhancing the workflow of your system. The M.2 SSD 430S offers long-term reliability with 280 Terabytes Written (TBW) and two-million hours Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).

M.2 Form Factor

The M.2 SSD 430S is compatible with 2242 and 2280 M.2 slots, granting compatibility with a wide range of light notebooks and Ultrabooks.

3D NAND

3D NAND flash chips ensure your data is stored in such a way that your system can easily search for what is needed and deliver it quickly, enhancing performance and your workflow.

SSD Scope

Monitor your storage with the free-to-download SSD Scope Software, allowing you to ensure your drive is healthy.

Performance Enhancing Capabilities

Aside from read and write speeds, the M.2 SSD 430S includes various integrated systems designed to optimize performance. Error Correcting Code (ECC) detects and corrects errors to prevent corruption. Garbage Collection moves existing data to release memory blocks. Wear-leveling saves data evenly across memory cells. DDR3 DRAM cache stores temporary copies of most active data to shorten access times. Additionally, you get access to TRIM & NCQ Command, S.M.A.R.T., RAID Engine, and LDPC coding.

M.2 SSD 430S

Transcend's ultra-compact SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 SSD 430S addresses the high-performance needs and strict size limitations of small form factor devices, best suited for Ultrabooks and thin, light notebooks. Boasting high-quality flash chips, DDR3 DRAM cache, and enhanced firmware algorithms, Transcend's M.2 SSD 430S delivers optimal reliability.

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 430S 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 430S reaches incredible read and write speeds of up to 560MB/s and 500MB/s. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 430S 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 430S features 4k random file read and write speeds up to 85,000 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 430S boasts a DDR3 DRAM cache and contains advanced features to enhance the performance of the SSD.
