SSD disk Transcend 240GB M.2 6Gbit/s TS240GMTS820S

Transcend M.2 SSD 820S is an ultra-compact SATA III 6Gb/s solid‑state drive designed for small form factor devices such as Ultrabooks and thin, light notebooks. Using 3D NAND flash and optimized firmware, the M.2 820S delivers reliable storage in an M.2 2242/2280 form factor with a length of 80 mm for easy integration and upgrade.

Advantages

3D NAND architecture increases density, endurance and overall performance compared with planar NAND. The drive supports the M.2 80 mm standard and the SATA III 6Gb/s interface, providing high sustained read and write speeds and reduced boot times when used as a cache. Built‑in features such as SLC caching, a RAID engine and LDPC error correction improve performance and data integrity. The compact M.2 format offers larger capacities in a smaller footprint suitable for ultrabooks and lightweight notebooks.
