Intel Smart Response Technology

Transcend's SATA III 6Gb/s MTS800 M.2 SSD supports Intel® Smart Response Technology (ISRT), which allows you to configure your computer system with an SSD used as cache memory between the hard disk drive and system memory. This provides the advantage of having a hard disk drive for maximum storage capacity with SSD-like overall system performance.

ISRT works by monitoring which programs and files you access most frequently and storing them on the SSD. As a result, application launch speed and overall system responsiveness are significantly improved, while space on your large-capacity hard drive is freed up for other programs and files. In this configuration, only one drive letter is displayed; no additional drive letter is required for the SSD used as cache.

Transcend's ultracompact M.2 SSD 830S, adopting the SATA III 6Gb/s interface and DDR3 DRAM cache, is well-suited to address the high-performance needs and strict size limitations of small form factor devices. By using only high-quality NAND flash and enhanced firmware algorithms, Transcend's M.2 SSD 830S delivers peerless reliability.

M.2 SSD 832S

Transcend's M.2 SSD 832S adopts a single-sided M.2 2280 form factor, making it slimmer and highly compatible with space-limited applications and small form factor devices, such as thin, light notebooks and high-performance PCs. Featuring the SATA III 6Gb/s interface, DDR3 DRAM cache, enhanced firmware algorithms, and built with high-quality NAND flash, the ultra-compact M.2 SSD 832S delivers high performance and peerless reliability.

3D expansion to break through limits

Unlike the existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which the memory cells are stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND is developed to break through density limitations of the 2D planar NAND, and thus can deliver a greater level of performance and endurance.

Single-sided to fit perfectly in small form factor devices

Compliant with M.2 form factor Type 2280, Transcend's 3D NAND M.2 SSD 832S is just 80mm in length and comes in a single-sided layout - meaning that only one side of the SSD has components attached to it - making the 832S the perfect solution for small form factor laptops and ultra-light PCs. The M.2 SSD 832S makes for an easy upgrade to your computer, taking up little space while giving it a much needed energy boost.

Superior transfer speeds

Featuring the M.2 standard (80mm), the next generation SATA III 6Gb/s interface and a powerful controller, Transcend's M.2 SSD 832S reaches incredible read and write speeds of up to 560MB/s and 500MB/s. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 832S provides 1.5 times faster boot time than conventional hard drives.

High IOPS to speed up loading times

Dedicated to maximizing high-performance computing, the M.2 SSD 832S features 4k random file read and write speeds up to 85,000 IOPS that deliver incredibly short loading times and almost instant response for heavy graphics and multimedia applications.

Store more in less space

The M.2 form factor enables expansion and integration of functions onto a single form factor module solution. M.2 SSDs include a smaller form factor but with larger capacities than that of mSATA and half-slim SSDs. With its singled-sided M.2 form factor, the SSD 832S is even slimmer and offers better compatibility.
