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.

Compliant with the M.2 2280 form factor, Transcend's 830S is great for use in Ultrabooks and lightweight notebooks. Measured at just 80mm in length, the M.2 SSD 830S makes for an easy upgrade to your computer, taking up little space while giving it a much needed energy boost.

Featuring the M.2 2280 standard (80mm), the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, and a powerful controller, Transcend's M.2 SSD 830S reaches read speeds of up to 530 MB/s and write speeds of up to 400 MB/s. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 830S provides faster boot times than conventional hard drives.

Dedicated to maximizing high-performance computing, the M.2 SSD 830S features 4K random file read speeds of up 45,000 IOPS to and 4K random file write speeds of up to 70,000 IOPS that deliver incredibly short loading times and almost instant response for heavy graphics and multimedia applications.

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.

Despite its extra-small dimensions, the M.2 SSD 830S 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
Relocated existing data to release memory blocks.

Wear-Leveling
Distributes data evenly across memory cells to prolong the SSD's lifespan.

DDR3 DRAM Cache
Stores a temporary copy of the most active data to shorten access times.

DevSleep
Intelligently shuts down the SATA interface when it's not in use to prolong the device's battery life.

Transcend SSD Scope is advanced, user-friendly software that makes it easy to ensure your Transcend SSD remains healthy, and continues to run fast and error-free by determining the condition and optimizing the performance of your drive.
