Transcend MTS420S 480GB M.2 SATA SSD

The Transcend M.2 SSD 420S is an internal solid-state drive with a 480 GB capacity, engineered specifically for space-constrained computing environments such as ultrabooks and thin notebooks. This model adheres to the M.2 2242 form factor standard, facilitating integration into compact system boards. It operates using the SATA III 6Gb/s interface, positioning it as a direct and responsive upgrade solution over legacy rotating storage components.

Performance metrics for this drive include sequential read speeds up to 530 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 480 MB/s. Data integrity is managed through 3D NAND flash architecture, supported by ECC and LDPC coding mechanisms. Reliability is specified with an endurance rating of 160 TBW and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2 million hours. Furthermore, the drive supports Device Sleep (DEVSLP) functionality for optimized power management during periods of system inactivity.
