Transcend launches 2.5 SATA SSD with DRAM cache in India

Bangalore: Transcend has announced the launch of its latest Solid State Drive, a 2.5" SATA II SSD equipped with 64MB of built-in DRAM cache in India. "We are confident that our customers will appreciate the delivery of extraordinary sustained transfer speeds of up to 230MB/s read and 180MB/s write to guarantee fast throughput, regardless of file size or type," said Austin Huang, Regional Head - Sales, SAARC and APAC, Transcend. Transcend's new DRAM cache-equipped SSD25D features an industry-standard 3.0Gb/s SATA II interface and 2.5" form factor to allow easy user installation in most notebook and desktop computers, just like a conventional hard drive. Moreover, the SSD25D's low power requirements and cool, silent operation greatly benefit notebook users with increased efficiency and longer battery run time. Now available in 60GB and 120GB capacities, Transcend's SSD25D Solid State Drive is ideal for system builders, gamers, or anyone who is looking for an easy upgrade to supercharge their notebook or desktop PC with a dose of ultra-speed performance. Built with NAND flash memory that contains no moving parts, the drive is resistant to mechanical failure caused by excess vibration, shock or heat. In addition, the SSD25D uses integrated ECC (Error Correction Code) to ensure accurate data transfer, and also features built-in wear leveling technology for consistent long-life operation. The increased speed potential gained from using high speed DRAM cache makes the SSD25D ideal for high-end gaming systems and workstations, especially when used with the upcoming Windows 7 operating system. 2.5" SATA SSD comes with two years warranty. The 60GB drive is available at a cost of 18000 while 120GB is available at 31000.
