Transcend Announces its New Line of 3D TLC NAND Solid-state Drives

Wazzup Everybody? Transcend Information, Inc., one of a leading manufacturer of industrial-grade storage products unveiled the release of 2.5-inch and M.2 form factor industrial solid-state drives featuring 3D NAND flash memory that can rival Planar (2D) MLC NAND flash, but at a very competitive price point that could bring better writing performance for Embedded Applications. Learn more about 3D TLC NAND flash memory after this break.

Built with high-quality 3D TLC NAND flash memory

This all-new series of SSDs use high-quality 3D TLC NAND flash memory. 3D NAND flash breaks through physical limitations on Planar NAND by stacking layers of memory cells to allow for greater capacities and performance. Compared to Planar NAND, 3D NAND is faster, more reliable, and delivers greater performance. Devices manufactured with 3D NAND are price competitive, making them an excellent choice for embedded systems.

Exclusive technologies

Transcend’s 3D TLC SSDs come packed with exclusive technologies for performance and protection, including SLC caching to greatly enhance write performance and product longevity; a RAID engine to increase stability and protect data, and low-density parity check (LDPC) code to automatically correct errors.

Transcend’s SSD Scope Pro software

The proprietary SSD Scope Pro software package is a user-friendly software suite that monitors device health, and helps embedded SSDs run more efficiently. Tools include View Drive Information, View S.M.A.R.T. Status, Diagnostic Scan, Secure Erase, Health Indicator, System Clone, and Firmware Update.
