Transcend SSD MTS420S 480GB M.2 SATA III

M.2 SSD 420S
Using the SATA III 6 GB/s interface and 3D NAND technology, Transcend's ultracompact M.2 SSD 420S is ideally suited to meet the highperformance requirements and strict size constraints of small form factor devices. Utilising highquality flash chips and advanced firmware algorithms, Transcend's M.2 SSD 420S offers unparalleled reliability.

3D extension to push the boundaries
Unlike existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which the memory cells are stacked vertically in several layers. Unlike existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which the memory cells are stacked vertically in several layers. 3D NAND is designed to break through the density limitations of 2D planar NAND to achieve higher levels of performance and endurance.

Perfect for your Ultrabook
Transcend's 3D NAND M.2 SSDs conform to M.2 form factors Type 2242 and 2280 and are perfect for use in ultra and lightweight notebooks. With a length of only 42 mm, the M.2 SSD 420S makes it easy to upgrade your computer, taking up little space while giving it a much needed power boost.

Superior transfer speeds
With the M.2 standard (42 mm), SATA III 6GB/s interface and a powerful controller, Transcend's M.2 SSD 420S achieves incredible read and write speeds of up to 530 MB/s and 480MB/s respectively. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 420S offers a boot time 1.5 times faster than conventional hard drives.

High IOPS to accelerate loading times
The M.2 SSD 420S features random 4K read and write speeds of up to 75,000 IOPS, providing incredibly fast load times and nearinstantaneous response for demanding graphics and multimedia applications.

More memory in a minimum of space
The M.2 form factor enables the expansion and integration of functions into a single form factor module solution. M.2 SSDs include a smaller form factor, but with larger capacities than mSATA and halfslim SSDs.

Powerful and functional
Despite its extra small size, the M.2 SSD 420S has advanced features to improve the performance of the SSD. Designed with a RAID engine and with builtin SLC caching technology, it uses LDPC encoding for error correction and data integrity.

RAID Engine and LDPC Coding
Detects and corrects transmission errors to prevent data loss for TLCbased SSD products

Garbage Collection
Moves existing data to free memory blocks.

WearLeveling
Distributes data evenly across memory cells to extend the life of SSDs.

Integrated SLC caching technology
Stores a temporary copy of the most active data to shorten access times.

SSD Scope Software
Transcend SSD Scope is an advanced, userfriendly software that makes it easy to ensure that your Transcend SSD stays "healthy" and continues to run fast and errorfree by determining the condition and optimizing the performance of your hard drive.
