Drawing on the SATA III 6Gb/s interface and DDR3 DRAM cache, Transcend's ultracompact M.2 SSD 830S is wellsuited to meet the highperformance requirements and strict size constraints of small form factor devices. Using only high quality NAND flash and advanced firmware algorithms, Transcend's M.2 SSD 830S offers unparalleled reliability. 3D expansion to break boundaries Unlike existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which memory cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND is designed to break through the density limitations of 2D planar NAND to achieve higher levels of performance and endurance. Perfect for your Ultrabook Transcend's 3D NAND M.2 SSDs comply with M.2 form factors Type 2242 and 2280 and are perfect for use in ultrabooks and lightweight notebooks. At just 80mm long, the M.2 SSD 830S makes it easy to upgrade to your computer, taking up little space while giving it a muchneeded power boost. Superior transfer speeds With the M.2 standard (80mm), SATA III 6Gb/s interface and a powerful controller, Transcend's M.2 SSD 830S achieves incredible read and write speeds of up to 560MB/s and 520MB/s respectively. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 830S offers a 1.5 times faster boot time than conventional hard drives. High IOPS to accelerate load times The M.2 SSD 830S features random 4K read and write speeds of up to 90,000 IOPS, providing incredibly fast load times and nearinstant response for demanding graphics and multimedia applications. More memory in the smallest space The M.2 form factor enables the expansion and integration of functions onto a single form factor module solution. M.2 SSDs incorporate a smaller form factor, but with larger capacities than mSATA and HalfSlim SSDs. Powerful and featurerich Despite its extrasmall size, the M.2 SSD 830S includes a DDR3 DRAM cache and advanced functions to enhance the SSD's performance.
