SSD 256Gb Transcend MTS430S SATA3 M.2 Type 2242

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 and light notebooks. With high-quality flash chips, DDR3 DRAM cache, and improved firmware algorithms, Transcend's M.2 430S SSD offers optimal reliability.

Unlike existing flat NAND chips, 3D NAND flash memory is a type of flash memory in which memory cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND is developed to overcome the density limitations of 2D flat NAND and therefore can offer a higher level of performance and strength.

Conforming to the M.2 Type 2242 and 2280 form factors, Transcend's M.2 3D NAND SSDs are perfect for use in Ultrabooks and lightweight notebooks. At just 42mm in length, the M.2 430S SSD makes it easy to upgrade your computer, taking up little space and giving you a much-needed power boost.

Featuring the M.2 (42mm) standard, SATA III 6Gb / s interface and a powerful next-generation controller, Transcend's M.2 430S SSD achieves incredible read and write speeds of up to 560MB / s and 500MB / s . When used as a cache, the M.2 430S SSD provides 1.5 times faster boot time than conventional hard drives.
