Transcend MTE220S PCIe M.2 PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe Up to 1TB SSD

Transcend Information Inc. announces the MTE220S PCIe M.2 SSD.

It utilizes PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and is compatible with NVMe specifications. Utilizing this interface offer transfer speeds of 3,500MB/s read and 2,800MB/s write. Using 3D chips and packing into a M.2 2280 form factor, the MTE220S SSD is for gaming enthusiasts and high-end applications.

Reliability at 3,500 MB/s
The MTE220S SSD comes equipped with DDR3 DRAM cache memory. This means that commonly used programs load much faster, and boot time is reduced. Utilizing SLC caching, it can reach R/W speeds of 3,500MB/s and 2,800MB/s, respectively, and 4K random performance is also improved. In addition to speeds, reliability is also enhanced with the Low Density Parity Check code in place.

NVMe interface allows transfer speeds
The MTE220S SSD, utilizing the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface and compatible with the latest NVMe 1.3 bus specifications, can reach transfer speeds of up to 32GB/s, crushing the SATA-III limit of 6GB/s. The 3D NAND flash chips used in the SSD mean a bottleneck breakthrough that results in improved read and write speeds over 2D planar NAND. Low power consumption and reliability are also hallmarks of this construction, ensuring long-term dependability. This, then, is a choice for gamers and those who require fast R/W cycles and reliability.
