Transcend 820S 960GB M.2 SATA SSD

The Transcend 960GB M.2 820S SSD is engineered for integration within ultra-compact systems, specifically targeting Ultrabooks and thin notebook chassis where space constraints are critical. Utilizing the M.2 2280 standard, this drive connects via the SATA III 6Gb/s interface, which delivers a performance profile significantly faster than traditional rotational hard disk drives.

Sequential data transfer rates are specified at 550 MB/s for reading and 500 MB/s for writing operations, contributing to rapid system boot times and accelerated application loading. The drive uses 3D NAND flash technology to balance performance with power efficiency suitable for mobile applications. Reliability is reinforced by a high Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating and support for Error Correction Code (ECC) functionality to maintain data integrity over the operational lifespan.
