Unidad SSD Transcend 480 GB 2,5" SATA III TS480GSSD220S

Transcend's SSD disk Transcend 480GB 2.5 inch SATA III TS480GSSD220S is a 2.5-inch SATA III solid-state drive that uses 3D NAND TLC flash and a slim aluminum enclosure to provide faster boot times, quicker data access and improved system responsiveness compared with traditional hard disk drives. The drive supports SATA III 6Gb/s and SLC caching technology to maximize everyday performance while maintaining compact dimensions (6.8 mm height) for compatibility with desktops, laptops and certain gaming consoles.

Advantages

3D NAND architecture increases storage density and endurance compared with planar (2D) NAND, while high-quality flash and optimized firmware boost reliability and sustained performance. The SSD achieves high sequential transfer rates thanks to the SATA III interface and SLC cache. It is lighter, more shock-resistant, quieter and consumes less power than HDDs. Transcend also provides SSD Scope software for drive health monitoring and performance optimization.
