Transcend SSD 230 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Interface

Key features:

  • Capacity: 1TB
  • Write Speed: 520MB/s
  • Read Speed: 560MB/s
See full description

  • Communication Protocol

    Most SSDs use SATA III or PCI Express.

    Almost all 2.5" SSDs connect via SATA III while most M.2 SSDs connect via PCI Express.


    PCI Express connection offers higher speeds, but this is mainly noticeable in demanding applications (high-resolution video processing, transferring large files, etc.) and is not necessary for everyday use.

    SATA III

    Modern hard drive connection standard.

    The majority of SSD hard drives use this standard. The motherboard must support it for the disk to operate at its maximum potential.

  • Write Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data recording. The larger the size, the faster the data recording.

    For an SSD that uses the SATA III protocol, the average recording speed is 300MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 1200MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

  • Read Speed

    Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk during data reading. The larger the size, the faster the data reading speed.

    An average reading speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 600MB/s, while for one with NVMe it is 2000MB/s.

    These differences make sense in particularly demanding use cases (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

Description

Description

3D Expansion to surpass limits

Unlike flat NAND memory, 3D NAND has memory cells stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND surpasses the density limitations of 2D NAND and offers higher levels of performance and durability.

Performance Boost for Everyday Computers

By fully utilizing the SATA III 6Gb/s interface and the built-in SLC caching technology, Transcend's SSD230S achieves exceptional transfer speeds of up to 560MB/s read and 520MB/s write.

Guaranteed durability and reliability

The Transcend SSD230S offers exceptional Terabytes Written (TBW) values, indicating the total amount of data you can write to the drive over its lifetime.

Best Choice for SSD Hard Drives

SSD hard drives dominate the market for computer upgrades because they are faster and lighter than conventional hard drives. SSDs also consume less power, create less noise during operation, and are more resistant to shocks than traditional hard drives.

SSD Scope Software

The Transcend SSD Scope is an advanced, user-friendly software that helps you ensure that your Transcend SSD remains healthy and continues to operate quickly and without errors, by identifying its status and optimizing its performance.

Maximum 4KB Random Write

Indicative size for the maximum speed of the hard disk in data recording during general use, for example (opening the computer/using applications). The larger the size, the faster it is in these functions.

Average read speed for an SSD using the SATA III protocol is 80,000 IOPS, while for one with NVMe it is 380,000 IOPS.

These differences make sense in particularly demanding use (e.g. high-resolution video editing). For most users, the differences will not be noticeable.

    This particular disk was installed as the second for storage in the operating system. I have a seven-year-old 250GB one which has been slow until now. So, for storage, this one is a 1TB and in the future, if everything goes well, I will get something bigger. The difference with the previous mechanical disk I had for storage is very noticeable. Speed, silence, no vibrations at all. As I said, it remains to be seen if it will perform well over time

    Very good and reliable in recording. I copied at least 860 GB of heavy files with it immediately, almost filling it up. I did get the 1TB, of course. From me, yes, it's worth it

    Very good SSD, of course I bought it a year ago for 75 euros and now it's only 45, unfair haha. It makes my laptop with Windows 10 run like a bullet, it opens in 2 seconds and applications run quickly.

    Now you can get 512GB for 75 euros!

    Fast, value for money, and the company provides monitoring software, as well as easy (1 click) copying of the operating system disk (you can easily transfer the existing system, operating system & applications, to the new disk), so you can continue within minutes as if nothing has changed.
