SSD M.2 240GB TRANSCEND MTS420S (SATAIII) 3D NAND TS240GMTS420S 2242 M.2 SSD 420S Transcend`s ultra-compact SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 SSD 420S 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 and enhanced firmware algorithms, Transcend`s M.2 SSD 420S 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 420S 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 420S reaches incredible read and write speeds of up to 500MB/s and 430MB/s. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 420S 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 420S features 4k random file read and write speeds up to 75,000 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 420S contains advanced features to enhance the performance of the SSD. Engineered with a RAID engine and featuring built-in SLC caching technology, it utilizes LDPC coding to correct errors and ensure data integrity. RAID engine and LDPC coding Detects and corrects transfer errors to prevent data corruption in TLC-based SSD products Garbage Collection Relocates existing data to release memory blocks Wear-leveling Distributes data evenly across memory cells to prolong SSD`s lifespan Built-in SLC caching technology Stores a temporary copy of the most active data to shorten access times Appearance Dimensions 42.0 mm x 22.0 mm x 3.88 mm (1.65“ x 0.87“ x 0.15“) Weight 5 g (0.18 oz) Interface Bus Interface SATA III 6Gb/s Storage Flash Type 3D NAND flash Capacity 120 GB/240 GB Operating Environment Operating Temperature 0°C (32°F) ~ 70°C (158°F) Operating Voltage 3.3V±5% Performance Sequential Read/Write (CrystalDiskMark) 240 GB500/430 MB/s 120 GB500/350 MB/s 4K Random Read/Write (IOmeter) 240 GB40,000/75,000 IOPS 120 GB28,000/75,000 IOPS Terabytes Written (TBW) 240 GB80 TBW 120 GB40 TBW Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) 1,000,000 hour(s) Drive Writes Per Day (DWPD) 0.3 (3 yrs) Note Speed may vary due to host hardware, software, usage, and storage capacity.
