Transcend SSD220Q 500GB 2.5" SATA SSD

This Transcend SSD220Q is an internal solid-state drive utilizing the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, ensuring broad compatibility across standard desktop and laptop systems. It employs QLC (Quad-Level Cell) NAND flash technology, designed to provide high storage density per cell compared to prior-generation NAND types. The drive integrates SLC caching mechanisms to assist in optimizing burst performance during intensive data transfer operations. This design targets general computing users seeking reliable storage upgrades or replacements for older mechanical hard drives.

The 500 GB model delivers sequential read speeds up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 500 MB/s, operating within the maximum limits of the SATA 6 Gb/s specification. Its standard 2.5-inch form factor features a thin 6.8 mm profile, simplifying installation in most modern PC enclosures and notebooks. Reliability functions, including Error Correction Code (ECC) and TRIM support, are integrated to maintain data integrity and optimize drive health over time. Furthermore, the drive incorporates DevSleep (DEVSLP) support to reduce power draw during system idle states.
