Details
SSD (Solid State Disk) is the future storage option for laptop and desktop computers alike. SSD units have no moving parts and as such the consume much less power, hence improving the battery life of any laptop. They are also more reliable than standard HDDs and for added peace of mind they include an ECC Error-Correction feature.

This product is designed with a SATA interface for use in newer systems with support for SATA. Built using MLC Flash, please refer to specifications for details on transfer rates on MLC based products.

Transcend?s 2.5-inch SATA SSD series has a distinct advantage over standard 2.5? HDDs in that they are made of solid-state memory with no moving parts, and therefore not susceptible to mechanical failure resulting from vibration, shock, heat, etc. Its modern SATA interface delivers higher data transfer rates than standard IDE and ensures compatibility with today?s high performance notebook and desktop computers.

Transfer rates:

Read speed up to 150MB/sec
Write speed up to 90MB/sec

Extremely poor performance - Steer clear
December 15th 2010
There's no way you could run an OS off this drive. I bought a couple some time ago, ran them in a RAID 0 configuration and found the system to be sluggish at best so they came back out and went into their box. Transfer rates are nowhere near what the specifications would have you believe. In the real world you'd be lucky to get 30MB/s reading off this. Write performance is about half that and this was after trying many of the well-known SSD optimisation tweaks. Windows 7 doesn't even recognise it as an SSD!

I honestly can't think of a saving grace for this drive: It's too slow to run an OS from and too small to consider using as an external drive (you'd be better off getting something like an OCZ USB flash drive with the same performance for significantly less money). It's put me off buying Transcend memory products.

If you're looking for a good SSD, first read up on the reviews and look at some legitimate benchmarks as the specs that Transcend provide for this drive are just downright dishonest.
