MTE850 PCIe NVMe M.2 2280 SSD With 3D MLC Chips by Transcend

Transcend Information Inc. anounced the MTE850 PCIe NVMe M.2 2280 SSD.

This is the first company’s SSD to utilize the PCIe Gen 3 x4 interface, and is compatible with NVM Express (NVMe) 1.2 specifications. The next-generation PCIe NVMe protocol allows the MTE850 SSD to achieve ransfer speeds of 2,500MB/s (read) and 1,100MB/s (write). Built with 3D MLC chips and packing up to 512GB into a M.2 form factor, the MTE850 is for gamers.

PCIe NVMe protocol allows transfer speeds
MTE850 M.2 2280 SSD utilizes the PCIe Gen 3 x4 interface and the NVMe 1.2 protocol, which has theoretical transfer speeds of up to 32GB/s, crushing the SATA III limit of 6GB/s. The 3D MLC NAND flash chips used in MTE850 offer improved read and write speeds over 2D NAND. Low power consumption and reliability are also hallmarks of 3D NAND, ensuring long-life dependability. It is a choice for gaming enthusiasts and others who require fast read and write speeds and reliability.

Reliability at 2,500MB/s
The MTE850 M.2 SSD also comes equipped with a DDR3 DRAM cache, which allows commonly used programs to load much faster and reduces boot times. Utilizing SLC caching, it can reach read and write speeds of 2,500MB/s and 1,100MB/s, respectively. Reliability is further enhanced by Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) error correction technology.

SSD Scope
The proprietary SSD Scope software, a free download from the company’s website, is a tailor-made software kit that monitors SSD’s health. Tools include view drive information, view S.M.A.R.T. status, diagnostic scan, secure erase, firmware update, TRIM enable, health indicator and system clone.

Warranty
The MTE850 M.2 2280 SSD comes in 128, 256, and 512GB capacities, covered by a three-year limited warranty.
