Description

Available for purchase, the Transcend M.2 42mm (2242) format SSD disk with a large volume of 512 GB.

This SSD drive has a compact and modern M.2 connector.

This is a SATA type SSD disk. It uses the SATA III protocol, which is older technology, however SATA is still a good option for everyday use and budget solutions.

This SSD disk read speed (Sequential read speed) is 560 MB/s. Keep in mind that "fast" disks without a proper cooling solution may not reach the speeds indicated by the manufacturer.

The write speed (Sequential write speed) of this SSD is 500 MB/s. However, if adequate cooling is not provided, "fast" drives may not achieve the speeds guaranteed by the manufacturer.

The format of this SSD drive (physical size of the drive) is M.2 42mm (2242).

This SSD drive interface is SATA III (6Gb/s). If you insert this drive into an older interface slot, the speed of the drive will decrease, as the drive will not have sufficient data transfer speed (Bandwidth).

Basic information
Capacity 512 GB
The HDD capacity in Gigabytes indicates how much information can be stored by the HDD. The capacity of the HDD is fixed and cannot be increased after buying the HDD. Therefore, upon buying the HDD you should verify its compliance with your current volume requirements and provides a reserve for future needs.
Type : SATA
Read speed (sequential) 560 MB/s

Sequential read speed or the mean data reading speed is the most important criterion of the high-speed operation of the SSD. The data from the SSD will be read much more often than written to it because the operating system stores the processed data in the RAM in most cases.

If you want the reading speed of the purchased SSD to exceed the speed of the classic HDD considerably you should choose the SSD with the reading speed of 200 MB/s or above. The additional increase in the performance will be achieved on the account of the data search (SeekTime) which is of much higher level with SSDs than any HDD.

Write speed (sequential) 500 MB/s

The writing speed is almost as important as the reading speed. Also this parameter determines the performance of the SSD, however, as the writing to the disc happens not as often as the data reading and average user will find it subjectively difficult to distinguish between any speed above 100 MB/s and higher indices, except the cases when the SSD is used in a server, for audio/video recording, etc.

Ports and equipment
Form factor M.2 42mm (2242)

Thanks to the small size provided by the SSD technology the standard size of the discs is 2.5", and it is suitable for an average portable computer. It is possible to install the 2.5" disc in the desktop computer if the transition 2.5" -> 3.5" is used, and this transition can be bought at a low cost at TopPC.fi section"Adapteri". The discs with the format 2.5" + 3.5" have this transition included.

1.8" discs are intended for the ultra-compact class portable computers.

PCI-Express SSDs are intended for desktop computers with a free PCI-Express plug available. This technology in most cases is used for ensuring the performance that exceeds the possibilities of other types of connections.

Interface : SATA III (6Gb/s)
Interface M.2

SSDs with SATAII and SATAIII connection are compatible with the connections of both types in the motherboard. Still, it has to be taken into account that the motherboard SATAII connection can provide maximum about 300 MB/s transmission capacity which can reduce the actual transmission capacity of the SSDs whose reading and/or writing speed exceeds this level to the capacity limits of the SATAII.

The situation is similar with the PCI-Express and SATAIII connection slots. Although the SATAIII standard can provide up to 600 MB/s data transmission capacity there are SSDs with the speed exceeding this limit, in this case the manufacturer chooses the PCI-Express connection slot with a higher transmission capacity. The PCI-Express discs cannot be connected to the portable computer.

Description - Transcend's ultra-compact SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 SSD 430S 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, DDR3 DRAM cache, and enhanced firmware algorithms, Transcend's M.2 SSD 430S 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 430S 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 430S reaches incredible read and write speeds of up to 560MB/s and 500MB/s. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 430S 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 430S features 4k random file read and write speeds up to 85,000 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 430S boasts a DDR3 DRAM cache and contains advanced features to enhance the performance of the SSD. Error Correcting Code (ECC)
Detects and corrects transfer errors to prevent data corruption Garbage Collection
