Unlike 2D planar NAND, 3D NAND flash memory cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers, which offer better performance and endurance.

The SSD230 is equipped with DDR3 DRAM cache to help improve read and write speeds. It's capable of up to 340 MB/s on 4K random read and write tests. For non-4K content, it can reach read and write speeds of up to 530 MB/s and 400 MB/s respectively via its SATA III 6 Gb/s interface.

Built with RAID engine and LDPC (Low-Density Parity Checking) coding, a powerful error checking algorithm, the SSD230 keeps your data secure while ensuring data integrity.

The SSD230 features SATA Device Sleep Mode (DevSleep), which turns off the drive when it's not in use to prolong your notebook's battery life. With a response time of less than 20 milliseconds, you'll be able to get back to work almost instantly.

Transcend's SSD Scope software, available as an optional download, lets you monitor the drive's health with S.M.A.R.T technology, enable the TRIM command for optimum write speeds, keep the drive's firmware up to date, and even migrate data from your original drive to a new one.
