Transcend's PCIe SSD 220S adheres to NVMe 1.3 and employs the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface, which means four lanes are utilized to simultaneously transmit and receive data, resulting in an impressive performance. Nvme (or NVM Express) is a host controller interface Standard designed to address the needs of Enterprise and client applications that use PCI Express-based solid-state storage. Pcie (or PCI Express) is a much faster interface than SATA (or Serial ATA) for connecting a host computer to solid-state storage devices over one or more lanes consisting of one transmit and one receive. Nvme necessitates a wager. To keep data secure, Transcend's PCIe SSD 220S uses LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) coding, a sophisticated ECC method. Engineered and manufactured with high-quality 3D NAND Flash chips.Transcend SSD scope is advanced, user-friendly software that determines and optimises the status of your Transcend SSD to guarantee it remains healthy and runs fast and error-free.
Supreme transfer speeds
Transcend's PCIe SSD 220S follows NVMe 1.3 and utilizes the PCIe™ Gen3 x4 interface, meaning four lanes are used for transmitting and receiving data simultaneously. Its 8-channel controller supports ultra-high data throughput, resulting in the compelling performance of up to 3,500MB/s read and 3,200MB/s write.
Understanding the PCIe interface
PCIe (or PCI Express®) is a much faster interface than SATA (or Serial ATA) for connecting a host computer to solid-state storage devices over one or more lanes consisting of one transmit and one receive serial interface in each lane, meaning it can better fulfill new performance requirements.
Understanding the NVMe standard
NVMe (or NVM Express®) is a host controller interface standard designed to address the needs of enterprise and client applications that utilize PCI Express-based solid-state storage. NVMe calls for better performance vectors than AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface), including scalable bandwidth, increased IOPS, and low latency.
3D expansion to break through limits
Unlike planar NAND memory, 3D NAND flash features memory cells stacked vertically in multiple layers. 3D NAND overcomes the density limitations of 2D planar NAND and delivers a higher level of performance and endurance.
Better endurance, higher reliability
Transcend's PCIe SSD 220S has been engineered with LDPC (Low-Density Parity Check) coding, a powerful ECC algorithm, to keep data secure. Manufactured with high-quality 3D NAND flash chips, and an engineered dynamic thermal throttling mechanism, the PCIe SSD 220S guarantees superior endurance and stability for high-end applications.
SSD Scope software
Transcend SSD Scope is advanced, user-friendly software that makes it easy to ensure your Transcend SSD remains healthy and continues to run fast and error-free by determining the condition and optimizing the performance of your drive.
Guaranteed quality
To ensure the utmost level of quality, Transcend SSDs undergo rigorous testing at all stages of production, including tests for vibration, temperature and humidity, speed, and functionality.
