New Transcend SSD Controller Up to 40MB/s in Random Read

Transcend Information, Inc. announced the launch of its upgraded 2.5" solid state drives (SSDs). Built on a faster and newer controller, the revamped SSDs provide random read speeds of up to 40MB/s, resulting in faster system boot up and application launch performance.

The newly-released SSDs are available in 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities. Thanks to their use of the new controller chip and 64MB of built-in DDR2 DRAM cache memory, the new SSDs feature sequential read and write speeds up to 260MB/s and 240MB/s, and random read/write speeds of 40MB/s and 27MB/s. This performance not only reduces average system boot times, but also offers stutter-free response and stability for netbooks, notebooks, high-end gaming PCs and industrial computers. Users can also take advantage of their noiseless operation to enjoy the perks of silent and practical computing.

For added value, Transcend’s new 2.5" SSDs support the TRIM command used by modern operating systems to help maintain optimum write speeds and reduce long-term SSD wear. Engineered for long life and maximum reliability, the upgraded SSDs have built-in Error Correction Code (ECC) functionality and static wear leveling that evenly distributes data written to or erased from the drive’s flash memory cells. All models are guaranteed to conform to RoHS standards for manufacturing without the use of hazardous materials.

Transcend’s 2.5" SATA SSDs are are built with a tamper-resistant outer casing. They are backed by a two-year limited warranty.
