14 DAY TRIAL // Transcend Information Inc. announced today the introduction of its all-new 64GB high speed SLC 2.5-inch Solid State Disk (SSD). The new Transcend SSD offers all the benefits of the solid-state technology (the reliable NAND flash memory that is not susceptible of mechanical failure as it has no moving parts), along with very low power consumption and ultra-fast data transfer speeds. The new SSD has been designed to fit the needs of both industrial systems and military applications.
"Transcend's 2.5" SSD can be used in most notebook computers and mainstream PCs just like a regular hard drive. When it comes to performance, Transcend's new SLC flash memory-equipped 64GB SSD offers data transfer rates that greatly surpass even the fastest 2.5" hard drives, delivering data read / write speeds of up to 119MB and 64MB per second, respectively. With these high-speed transfer rates and virtually non-existent (less than 0.1ms) latency, Transcend's SSD accelerates computer boot-up times, makes games and applications open faster and run more smoothly, and improves overall system responsiveness," said Austin Huang, Regional Head - Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend.
The integrated Error Correction Code (ECC) featured by Transcend's Solid State Disk offers increased system integrity and highly reliable data transfer. Its wear-leveling algorithm ensures ultra-long storage lifespan and data-retention durability for prolonged use. As all SSDs, Transcend's drive runs cool and generates no noise. The available capacities for this 2.5" Solid State Disk range from 8 GB to 64GB in both SATA and IDE versions.
"Transcend is preparing to release even higher capacity and greater speed Solid State Disks in the near future", added Huang.
Transcend's 2.5" Solid State Disk specifications sheet shows that it can offer up to 55MB/s read speed and up to 21MB/s write speed with UDMA Mode4 for the 64GB model, while the 32GB one features up to 25MB/s read and up to 8MB/s write speed with UDMA Mode4. The drive needs only 5V to operate and can work in an environment with 5%-95% humidity and 0C(32F) to 70C(158F) temperature.
