Product Description

Product Description
SATA Solid State Disk (SSD) comes in a standard 2.5-inch size and has an SATA interface which means it can be used in most notebook computers and mainstream PCs just like a regular hard drive. Instant access speeds, large capacity, high reliability, low power consumption and anti-shock features, making it clear that Transcend's SSDs are the ideal drop-in replacements for conventional Hard Disk Drives. Transcend's 2.5-inch SATA SSD series has a distinct advantage over standard 2.5" HDDs in that they are made of solid-state memory with no moving parts, and therefore not susceptible to mechanical failure resulting from vibration, shock, heat, etc. Its modern SATA interface delivers higher data transfer rates than standard IDE and ensures compatibility with today's high performance notebook and desktop computers. Moreover, SATA cables are much thinner and more compact than IDE cables, which allows for less cluttered installations with better cooling from improved airflow. Transcend's 2.5-inch SATA SSD has the standard compact dimensions as normal 2.5" hard drives, but with a thickness of only 9.5mm, making it very easy to install in PCs and notebooks. In addition, the 2.5-inch SATA SSD has built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) functionality that ensures highly reliable data transfer and increases your system's overall integrity. Built-in wear leveling technology also ensures ultra-long lifespan and data-retention durability for prolonged use. With no moving parts, absolutely no noise is generated from the SSD, and much less power is needed for operation, which means less heat is generated as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great in Apple MacBook, January 13, 2009

By	Michael Ryder (Grand Rapids, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently installed this in a 13" MacBook and it works splendidly!
All I had to do was remove the old HD and put this one in its place and reinstall the system, worked flawlessly and it is much snappier with the SSD for sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars fast enough, December 13, 2008

By	Mohammed Hany Ahmed "JunkMan" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had 2X250 Raid0 Rotating HDD 5400 RPM SATA 150 . I replaced same with 2x128GB SSata 150 Transcend. I had the DVD's of my softwares. i backed up my data. and reinstalled applications after replacing the Rotating HDD with SSD. Windows (Vista Ultimate 64 Bits) installed in about 7 mins. and Visual Studio took much longer( but i was installed , with Rotating-HDD it failed). the difference in preformance was very high in application launch (almost immediate for office and visual studio) also , the Excel (office 2007) is real fast compared with the Rotating type HDD and made more calculations before it ran out of memory. However, in windows launch, i did not notice much difference . Performance boost is worth the effort. I did not have enough history to see the performance with time. The heating was not tested as i use a gaming note-book with is high heat emitting one. Computer Brain are fast and prices are the best for this item (by the time i bought it).
