Transcend Announces New MSA450T mSATA 3D TLC SSD for Embedded Applications

Hello Peeps and Geeks! Transcend, the leading manufacturer of storage and multimedia products proudly announces their release of the MSA450T Solid State Drive. Find out more below.

Transcend continues and pushes through to developing wide arrange of cutting-edge technology to further innovate and embed high quality and reliable products. As the demand for better and faster Solid State Drives continues, Transcend has opt to expand their use of flash and DRAM offerings as well as world-class technical support and with it the release of  MSA450T Solid State Drive.

High-Quality 3D TLC NAND Flash Offers Better Performance and Write Endurance 

3D TLC NAND flash are known for its better write endurance and performance that can rival Planar (2D) MLC NAND flash, but at a very competitive price point. Not only the higher capacities can be achieved in a smaller physical space with 3D TLC NAND, the write endurance and write performance are greatly improved as well.

The MSA450T features 3D TLC NAND which offers higher write performance of up to 400MB/s, as compared to 160MB/s on the MSA370 which comes with 2D MLC NAND.    

Exclusive Technology for Enhanced Performance and Reliability 

The MSA450T comes with DDR3 DRAM cache to boost its write performance. The cache acts as a buffer, which helps to increase the drive performance by dedicating fast NAND to read/write cycle. 

An advanced low-density parity check (LDPC) error correction code is also featured on the MSA450T to automatically correct errors during operation to ensure data integrity and drive longevity. With more bits which are corrected during operation, the usable life of a flash is greatly increases. 

Transcend’s SSD Scope Pro software

Transcend's 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. 

The warranty of the MSA450T comes available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacities and is backed by Transcend’s Three-year Limited Warranty.
