Transcend SSD250N 2.5-Inch 6Gb SATA 1TB and 2TB SSD for NAS

Transcend Information, Inc. announces the SSD250N 2.5″ SSD tailor-made for NAS systems to support rising demand for remote offices, remote education, and remote recreation brought on by Covid-19.

This drive was designed for continually operating NAS systems. The built-in DRAM cache and 3D NAND flash deliver high IO/s, reducing latency and speeding up NAS systems. Packed with multiple technologies, it provides reliability and extends NAS lifespan, assisting SMB operations, multimedia streaming at home, and speeding up multi-user access to shared data.

Reliable over long term
The SSD250N is ready for use with NAS systems on 24/7 as it offers up to 2,000 TBW. Its 3D NAND flash and the 6Gb SATA interface unleash random speeds of up to 82,000 IO/s, optimizing data transfer. The built-in DRAM cache boosts read and write speeds, offering stable performance for seamless backups, instant central management and real-time file synchronization. Whether the NAS is serving up your favorite shows on your home media center while archiving music, photos, and videos, or is used in 4K or 8K video editing, or even at a business constantly trading data with clients, the SSD250N is ready to do the heavy lifting.

Technologies power performance
To ensure data integrity, security, and stability, the SSD is integrated with multiple technologies. The RAID engine and LDPC coding detect and fix transfer errors to prevent data corruption; garbage collection relocates data to release memory blocks and prolong device lifespan; and DevSleep saves energy by shutting down the SATA interface when not in use and powering up quickly when prompted. These smart technologies enable the SSD250N to accommodate new lifestyle and remote business models.
