3D expansion to break through limits
Unlike planar NAND memory, 3D NAND flash features memory cells stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND overcomes density limitations of 2D planar NAND, and delivers a higher level of performance and endurance.

Performance boost for everyday computing
Taking full advantage of the SATA III 6Gb/s interface and built-in SLC caching technology, Transcend's SSD230S achieves exceptional transfer speeds of up to 560MB/s read and 520MB/s write.

Guaranteed endurance and reliability
Transcend's SSD230S offers great Terabytes Written (TBW) values (up to 2240TB) indicating the total amount of data you can write into the drive over its lifetime. It also features RAID engine and LDPC coding, Garbage Collection, Wear-leveling, and DevSleep.

A better choice than HDD
Solid-state drives dominate the market for PC upgrades because they are faster and lighter than hard disk drives. SSDs also feature less power, create less noise when in operation, and are more shock-resistant than traditional hard drives.

SSD Scope software
Transcend SSD Scope is advanced, user-friendly software that makes it easy to ensure your Transcend SSD remains healthy, and continues to run fast and error-free by determining the condition and optimizing the performance of your drive.

Guaranteed quality
Transcend’s solid state drives are built to the highest standards and rigorously tested, and offer outstanding quality, performance, and reliability.

    Posted this a whie back at a higher price, great drive and have had no issues at all with mine.

    It's basically a re-branded 4TB MX400.
    Same controller, DRAM and NAND. Even the silver outer casing is identical.
    Not sure why the rated TBW is so high compared to Crucial, but then brands are allowed to put whatever they like on there as it's theoretical.
    It doesn't surprise me as my 1TB MX500 lasted well past its TBW, these drives last a LONG time.

    What it does mean is that you can thrash this to within an inch of its like and as long as it hasn't past that rather high TBW they will honour the warranty.

    At this price it's a great deal. No, not as cheap as the Samsung cashback deal from a few weeks back (I got one of those too), but that doesn't take away from how well priced this is. (edited)

    how did your mx500 break. how much tb did it do
  2. Mitchellin's avatar
    might be wrong, didn't someone say that this model is hardware-wise basically the same as crucial mx500?
    Ph45m0ph0b1c's avatar
    Yes same SM2258 controller and Micron NAND

    I always had this question in mind, meh here it is, is this physically heavier than a 1tb ssd? (Does more memory mean more weight physical on drives?)

    I'll bite...
    If you mean the same model but in 1TB then yes by maybe 20 grammes or so.

    Could I use this in a nas drive?
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    Yep, this particular drive has very high endurance so would be perfect.

    I was the only one that though it was a credit card?

    A little way off the Samsung cashback deals a couple of months back... (I think that got as low as £110 after cb for 4TB).

    Also no encryption support. The Samsung ones usually have that.

    Ohh. Delivery 14th September ?

    Update from Amazon today, arriving 6 Sep - 8 Sep.

    You can get a netac 4tb nvme for £2 less,good price though heat (edited)

    Link? SLC cache, TLC NAND? DRAM?
  11. NoliCedere's avatar
    Is this any good for a home server os/boot drive?
    The.Fat.Cat's avatar
    Yep, it would be fine.
    Random r/w speeds aren't massively different from NVMe drives, obviously sequential speeds aren't even close so not the best if you're going to be moving large files around frequently. (edited)
  12. mccririck's avatar
    Does this have DRAM?
    r4w80's avatar
    If you check previous post, this is very similar to mx500 and it has dram cache.
