Transcend Launches MTE220S PCIe M.2 SSD for Never-Before-Seen Transfer Speeds!

2019/01/22 — Transcend Information Inc., a leading manufacturer of storage and multimedia products, is proud to announce the MTE220S PCIe® M.2 Solid-State Drive. This SSD utilizes PCI Express® Gen3 x4 interface and is compatible with NVM ExpressTM (NVMeTM) specifications. Utilizing this interface means never-before-seen transfer speeds of 3,500 MB/s read and 2,800 MB/s write are now a reality. Using 3D chips and packing into a M.2 2280 form factor, the MTE220S SSD is the must-have for gaming enthusiasts and high-end applications!

Unparalleled reliability at 3,500 MB/s
Transcend’s MTE220S SSD comes equipped with DDR3 DRAM cache memory. This means that commonly used programs load much faster, and boot time is greatly reduced. Utilizing SLC caching, the MTE220S SSD can reach astonishing read/write speeds of 3,500 MB/s and 2,800 MB/s, respectively, and 4K Random performance is also significantly improved. In addition to speeds, reliability is also enhanced with the Low Density Parity Check code in place.

NVMe interface allows unmatched transfer speeds
Transcend’s MTE220S SSD, utilizing the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and compatible with the latest NVMe 1.3 bus specifications, can reach transfer speeds of up to 32 GB/s, crushing the SATAIII limit of 6 GB/s. The 3D NAND flash chips used in the SSD mean a bottleneck breakthrough that results in vastly improved read and write speeds over 2D planar NAND. Low power consumption and excellent reliability are also hallmarks of this construction, ensuring long-term dependability. This, then, is an excellent choice for gamers and those who require fast read/write cycles and unquestionable reliability.

SSD Scope Software
The proprietary SSD Scope software, a free download from the Transcend website, is a tailor-made kit that measures the SSD’s health. Tools include View Drive Information, View S.M.A.R.T. Status, Diagnostic Scan, Secure Erase, Firmware Update, TRIM Enable, Health Indicator, and System Clone.

Warranty
Transcend’s MTE220S PCIe M.2 SSD comes in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB capacities, and are covered by Transcend’s five-year limited warranty.
