M.2 SSD 430S
Using the SATA III 6 GB/s interface and 3D NAND technology, Transcend's ultra-compact M.2 SSD 430S is ideally suited to meet the high-performance requirements and strict size constraints of small form factor devices. Utilising high-quality flash chips and advanced firmware algorithms, Transcend's M.2 SSD 430S offers unparalleled reliability.

3D extension to push the boundaries
Unlike existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which the memory cells are stacked vertically in several layers. Unlike existing planar NAND chips, 3D NAND flash is a type of flash memory in which the memory cells are stacked vertically in several layers. 3D NAND is designed to break through the density limitations of 2D planar NAND to achieve higher levels of performance and endurance.

Perfect for your Ultrabook
Transcend's 3D NAND M.2 SSDs conform to M.2 form factors Type 2242 and 2280 and are perfect for use in ultra- and light-weight notebooks. With a length of only 42 mm, the M.2 SSD 430S makes it easy to upgrade your computer, taking up little space while giving it a much needed power boost.

Superior transfer speeds
With the M.2 standard (42 mm), SATA III 6GB/s interface and a powerful controller, Transcend's M.2 SSD 430S achieves incredible read and write speeds of up to 560 MB/s and 500 MB/s respectively. When used as a cache, the M.2 SSD 430S offers a boot time 1.5 times faster than conventional hard drives.

High IOPS to accelerate loading times
Designed to maximize high-performance computing, the M.2 SSD 430S features random 4K read and write speeds of up to 85,000 IOPS, providing incredibly fast load times and near-instantaneous response for demanding graphics and multimedia applications.

More memory, smaller form factor
The M.2 form factor enables the expansion and integration of functions into a single form factor module solution. M.2 SSDs include a smaller form factor, but with larger capacities than mSATA and half-slim SSDs.

Powerful and functional
Despite its extra small size, the M.2 SSD 430S has a DDR3 DRAM cache and offers advanced features to enhance SSD performance.

Error Correcting Code (ECC)
Detects and corrects transmission errors to prevent data loss.

Garbage Collection
Moves existing data to free memory blocks.

Wear-Leveling
Distributes data evenly across memory cells to extend the life of SSDs.

DDR3 DRAM cache
Stores a temporary copy of the most active data to shorten access times.
