Built around a quality MLC flash memory and a powerful controller, the Transcend MSA370 mSATA delivers blazing-fast performance over a SATA III interface with long-term reliability. This SSD delivers fast sequential and random read/write speeds compared to HDD storage, making it possible to boot up your system in seconds, launch applications in an instant, and switch between tasks smoothly. It also supports Intel SRT, (smart response technology) in which it acts as a high-speed cache to boost your operation, and is TRIM-enabled to maintain the performance for long-term use. The Device Sleep Mode (DevSleep) optimizes the power usage by completely shutting down the drive when not in use. The compact mSATA form factor makes it perfect for use in space-restricted portable devices, such as Ultrabooks, notebooks, and desktops armed with mSATA connectors.
