Made to fit. Ultra compact.

Transcend's ultra-compact SATA III 6Gb/s M.2 SSD 820S addresses the high-performance needs and strict size limitations of small form factor devices, best suited for Ultrabooks and thin, light notebooks. Boasting high-quality flash chips and enhanced firmware algorithms, Transcend's M.2 SSD 820S delivers optimal reliability.

FEATURES

• Space-saving M.2 Type 2280 form factor
• Up to 550 MB/s read; 500 MB/s write
• 3D NAND flash memory
• RAID engine and LDPC coding for data integrity; DDR3 DRAM cache for short access times
• Supports S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, and NCQ commands

3D expansion to break through limits
Unlike the existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which the memory cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND is developed to break through density limitations of the 2D planar NAND, and thus can deliver a greater level of performance and endurance.

Perfect for your Ultrabook
Compliant with M.2 form factors Type 2242 and 2280, Transcend's 3D NAND M.2 SSDs are perfect for use in Ultrabooks and lightweight notebooks. Measured at just 80mm in length, the M.2 SSD 820S makes for an easy upgrade to your computer, taking up little space while giving it a much needed energy boost.

Superior transfer speeds
Featuring the M.2 standard (80mm), the next generation SATA III 6Gb/s interface and a powerful controller, Transcend's M.2 SSD 820S reaches incredible read and write speeds of up to 550MB/s and 500MB/s. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 820S provides 1.5 times faster boot time than conventional hard drives.

High IOPS to speed up loading times
Dedicated to maximizing high-performance computing, the M.2 SSD 820S features 4k random file read and write speeds up to 75,000 IOPS that deliver incredibly short loading times and almost instant response for heavy graphics and multimedia applications.
