Transcend, a manufacturer of memory products, has announced the release of its all-new 128GB high speed 2.5-inch Solid State Disk (SSD) in India. Featuring a powerful new controller, Transcend's MLC-equipped 128GB SSD offers read/write speeds of up to 145MB / 92MB per second guaranteeing fast throughput regardless of file size. During the launch, Austin Huang, Regional Head - Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, "With the ever-increasing popularity of compact notebooks and high-end portable devices, the demand for solid-state disks (SSD) is greater than ever. Transcend is poised at the forefront of this new solid-state revolution, offering a new all-new high-speed range of SSD products with a fresh new look and phenomenal read/write speeds." With these high-speed transfer rates and virtually non-existent (0.2ms) latency, software applications and games open faster and run more smoothly, improving overall system responsiveness. Moreover, the SSD's industry-standard SATA-II interface and 2.5" form factor allow easy and straightforward user installation in most notebook computers and mainstream PCs just like regular hard drives. Transcend's 128GB Solid State Disk's integrated ECC (Error Correction Code) ensures highly reliable data transfer and increases system integrity. Its built-in wear leveling technology also guarantees ultra-long storage lifespan and data-retention durability for prolonged use. Transcend's 2.5" Solid State Disks are available in capacities ranging from 8GB to 128GB in SATA-II and IDE versions, backed by a two-year warranty. The 128 GB SSD is priced at 20,000.
