Transcend intros 64GB SLC 2.5-inch SSD

Transcend Information Inc introduced its 64GB SLC 2.5-inch Solid State Disk (SSD). Unlike traditional hard disk drives, SSDs are made of NAND flash memory that contains no moving parts, and therefore are not susceptible to mechanical failure resulting from vibration, shock or heat. Aside from the inherent durability benefits of solid-state technology, the low power consumption and ultra-fast data transfer speeds offered by Transcend's SSD make it ideal for consumer electronics as well as industrial systems and military applications.
Austin Huang, Regional Head-Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend said, “This can be used in most notebook computers and mainstream PCs just like a regular hard drive. When it comes to performance, Transcend's new SLC flash memory-equipped 64GB SSD offers data transfer rates that greatly surpass even the fastest 2.5-inch hard drives, delivering data read/write speeds of up to 119 and 64MBPS, respectively. With these transfer rates and virtually non-existent (less than 0.1ms) latency, Transcend's SSD accelerates computer boot-up times, makes games and applications open faster and run more smoothly, and improves overall system responsiveness.”

The SSD is available with Supertron Electronics and Mediaman Infotech, at a price of Rs 33,000.
