Peak speeds of 550MB\/s read and 450MB\/s write are achievable\u00a0via firmware algorithms, flash chips and SLC caching technology.<\/p>\n<p>Transcend engineers the SSD220S with a RAID engine and low-density parity check coding to keep data secure. Internal wear-levelling technology is also available.<\/p>\n<p>The Transcend SSD220S has\u00a0multiple built-in technologies, including Error Correction Code (ECC) to help detect and correct potential transfer errors, Device Sleep (DevSleep) mode to reduce power consumption and shorten the response time upon wake-up from Sleep or Hibernate, and the S.M.A.R.T. function to monitor SSD health conditions. More standard mechanisms include Intelligent Block Management and Wear-levelling algorithm to protect data integrity and prolong SSD lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>SSD Scope allows users\u00a0to check and get informed how the\u00a0SSD220S solid-state drive is doing by providing health status information via S.M.A.R.T. technology, enable TRIM command to maintain optimal write speeds and update the SSD firmware.<\/p>\n<p>At only 6.8mm and weighing at 58g, it fits most notebook and replaces the heavier traditional hard drive. A 3.5mm bracket is included for desktop upgraders with the cloning tool making migration available\u00a0via SSD Scope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcend Information announced the availability of its solid-state drive for system builders looking to speed-up their system boot-up times and application start-up: Transcend SSD220S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":23408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[4604,4603,4605,714,96,1790,4606],"class_list":["post-23407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-disk","tag-hdd","tag-solid-state-drive","tag-ssd","tag-technology","tag-transcend","tag-transcend-ssd220s"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23407"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23407\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
