Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend ), a worldwide leader in storage and
multimedia products, today announced the launch of its advanced MSA720 SATA III
6Gb/s mSATA solid state drive (SSD). The new MSA720 packs all the benefits of
SATA III 6Gb/s performance and SSD reliability into an ultra-small design, to
offer the ideal solution for space-restricted embedded systems that use the
mini-PCIe (mSATA) interface.
Supporting the next-generation SATA III 6Gb/s standard and built around a
powerful SandForce SF2281 controller, the MSA720 delivers blazing fast
sequential transfer speeds up to 560MB/s read and 530MB/s write, and impressive
4K random file writes up to 91,000 IOPS. This outstanding performance is
particularly beneficial in dual-drive hybrid systems, where a large capacity
hard drive is used for storing data, while the MSA720 acts as a cache drive to
accelerate operating system boot-up time and commonly-used application launch
speed.
Only one-eighth the size of a standard 2.5” SSD and weighing just seven
grams, the MSA720 is perfect for use in thin-and-light portable devices such as
Ultrabooks, notebooks, and tablet PCs.Moreover, the use of top quality
Toggle-mode MLC NAND flash chips provides excellent shock and vibration
resistance to compact industrial applications such as slim servers and medical
equipment, where sustained performance and reliability are a major concern.
Support for S.M.A.R.T., TRIM and NCQ functions further increase the long-term
health and efficiency of the SSD.
To prevent unauthorized access to data, the MSA720 features hardware-based
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) protection that automatically encrypts all
data written to the SSD in real time, with no reduction in performance. In
addition, the MSA720 uses DuraWrite flash endurance enhancement to ensure
ultimate reliability, data retention, and power handling, giving peace of mind
to users who heavily rely on the data stored in their computers.
The MSA720 is available in 64GB and 128GB capacities, and backed by a
three-year limited warranty.
