Two Series of Transcend M.2 SSDs – 430S and 830S – Were Released

Transcend Released Two M.2 SSDs

Transcend is a leading global brand of data storage devices, recently, the company announced its release of the new M.2 SSDs: 430S and 830S.

Both of these two M.2 SSDs are using the SATA III 6GB/s interface and DDR3 DRAM cache to supply you with the high performance. On the other hand, both Transcend’s M.2 SSD 430S and 830S SSDs have peerless reliability by using high-quality NAND flash chips and enhanced firmware algorithms.

These two SSDs have some similar features. Today, we will introduce them to you together.

Transcend M.2 SSD 430S

Transcend M.2 SSD 430S is designed with a space-saving 42mm M.2 form factor. The weight of the drive is super light with only 6g (0.21 oz). Thus, you can use this SSD on the ultra-thin computing devices without adding much weight to the machine.

In addition, it is using the next-generation SATA III 6 GB/s interface. With this interface, the sequential read/write speed of Transcend M.2 SSD 430S can reach up to 560MB/s and 500MB/s respectively. However, the actual speed may vary due to host hardware, software, usage, and storage capacity.

It is quite obvious that the ultra compact dimensions and DDR3 DRAM cache can make the 430S SSD to be the well-suited drive to meet the high-performance requirements and strict size limitations of the computers with small form factor.

Most of you are caring about the main features of this 430S SSD. Now, you and view them in the following image:

Transcend M.2 SSD 830S

The Transcend M.2 SSD 830S also has space-saving 80mm M.2 form factor. Indeed, it is special designed to meet the future market requirements of ultra-thin computing devices just like Ultrabook devices, tablet computers and laptops.

This drive also features the latest SATA III 6 GB/s specification and DDR3 DRAM cache. In addition, it also uses the high-quality 3D NAND Flash chips.

As to the data transfer speed, this drive performs well again. The read and write speeds can reach up to 560MB/s and 520MB/s respectively. With this drive, you can easily handle your tasks and demanding multimedia applications.

The key features of the drive are very similar to the 430S series. So we will not repeat them here.

Exclusive Technologies for Performance and Protection

In this part, we will talk about the exclusive technologies for performance and protection which are packed in both of these two SSDs.

These technologies include the following elements:

• SLC caching to greatly enhance write performance and product longevity
• A RAID engine to increase stability and protect data
• Low-density parity check (LDPC) code to automatically correct errors
• Error Correction Code (ECC) that helps detect and correct potential transfer errors
• Device Sleep mode to reduce power consumption and shorten the response time upon wake-up from Sleep or Hibernate
• The S.M.A.R.T. function to efficiently monitor SSD health conditions.

Capacities and Warranty

Now, the available capacities of Transcend M.2 SSD 430S includes 128GB, 256GB and 512GB, and Transcend M.2 SSD 830S includes 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. After getting these two drives, you will get a 5-year limited warranty.
