Transcend 2.5-Inch 6Gb SATA SSD With SLC at 64GB and 128GB

Transcend Information, Inc. introduced a new solution of SSD570 in a 2.5″ form factor with SLC NAND flash embedded to its industrial product line.

Taking advantage of the next-generation SATA III 6Gb/s interface, SSD570 in 128GB capacity boosts its transfer speeds of up to 510MB/s read and 450MB/s write. For industrial and embedded applications, it is equipped with technologies such as IPS function, Device Sleep mode and S.M.A.R.T. attribute to provide lower power consumption and enhance data protection mechanism.

SLC NAND Flash Technology
Compliant with the third generation of the SATA specification utilizing the potential of the 6Gb/s bus, SSD570 deliver sustained sequential R/W performance of up to 510MB/s and 450MB/s respectively. Built on advanced Transcend TS6500 controller and SLC NAND flash, which has higher stability in data retention and longer endurance than MLC, SSD570 guarantees faster transfer speed, longer R/W endurance and lower error rates. With shock and vibration resistance design, the SSD570 is a storage solution suitable for industrial applications that require intensive programming with data integrity.

Built-in IPS Function
SSD570 is built in with IPS (Intelligent Power Shield) function which is stronger than other Transcend SSD series. Compared to normal SSDs without power shield function supported, SSD570 with built-in IPS function assures more data volume being written into flash chips in the event of sudden power loss. IPS function prolongs the time before the SSD enters write protection mode at the onset of power cut-off to ensure data integrity and to prevent the SSD from damage during sudden power failure or blackouts.

SSD570 also supports various technologies such as device sleep mode, S.M.A.R.T. capability, security command, built-in ECC and global wear-leveling algorithm, of all which give reliability and stability for the product.

SSD570 is available in 64GB and 128GB, and backed by three-year limited warranty.

SSD520 SSDs with SLC flash chips and SATA II 3Gb/s interface available in 8GB, 16GB and 128GB are another option for industrial grade applications.
