SATA III 6Gb/s mSATA SSD * Fully compatible with devices and OS that support the SATA III 6Gb/s standard * Supports dynamic power management * With DDR3 DRAM cache * Non-volatile Flash Memory for outstanding data retention * Built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) functionality and wearleveling algorithm ensures highly reliable of data transfer * Support TRIM and NCQ command * Can be used with Intel Smart Response Technology (ISRT) to dramatically improve system performance MSA740 Benefits * Transcend's MSA740 is a SATA III 6Gb/s mSATA SSD device built with high performance, quality Flash Memory assembled on a printed circuit board. It features cutting-edge technology to enhance product life and data retention. Designed with multitasking power users in mind, the MSA740 is capable of running many demanding system applications, including specialized multimedia computing and advanced gaming. As a result, the MSA740 is the ultimate performance upgrade for various applications, such as Ultrabooks, PCs, Laptops, gaming systems, and handheld devices. Enhanced Performance Combining the latest SATA III 6Gb/s specification , the MSA740 is able to offer incredible transfer speeds of up to 520MB/s read and 270MB/s write. This ultrafast speed translates into significantly faster system boot up, application launch speed, data transfers, and overall system responsiveness. Moreover, support for Native Command Queuing (NCQ), increases the performance and efficiency of the MSA740 by optimizing the order in which received read and write commands are executed. High-End Applications The MSA740 boasts an ultra-slim to address the size limitations of today's modern Ultrabooks, notebooks, and other thin and light form factor devices. The MSA740 fit the standard dimensions of mSATA Hard Disk Drives and is backwards compatible with SATA II/I (3Gbps/1.5Gbps) connection options. MSA740 not only provides resistance from shock and vibration, but also offers low power consumption, silent operation to greatly benefit notebook users with increased efficiency and longer battery runtime. Built-In Reliability For Windows 7 users, the MSA740 fully supports the TRIM command to automatically remove deleted data permanently, helping to maintain optimum write speeds and prevent long-term SSD wear. For operating systems that do not support the TRIM command, the MSA740 utilizes an intelligent garbage collection algorithm for advanced free space management. To further increase the lifespan of the SSD, built-in wear-leveling and Error Correction Code (ECC) ensure reliable data transfer, while full support of the S.M.A.R.T. command helps detect possible hard drive failures before they occur.
