Transcend 420S 120GB M.2 SSD

Transcend M.2 SSD 420S SATA III 6Gb/s SSD

The Transcend M.2 SSD 420S is a compact SATA III 6Gb/s solid-state drive designed for thin and lightweight computers, Ultrabooks and other small-form-factor devices. Its compact M.2 design provides a practical storage upgrade where internal space is limited, while its 3D NAND flash technology delivers improved performance, reliability and endurance compared with traditional planar NAND.

Compact M.2 Design for Ultrabooks

Measuring just 42mm in length, the M.2 SSD 420S is designed for devices that require a small storage solution without compromising everyday performance. Its M.2 2242 form factor makes it suitable for compatible Ultrabooks and lightweight notebooks where a conventional 2.5-inch SSD may not be appropriate.

3D NAND Flash Technology

Transcend M.2 SSD 420S uses 3D NAND flash memory, where memory cells are arranged vertically across multiple layers. This architecture helps overcome the density limitations of traditional 2D planar NAND while providing a combination of performance, durability and storage efficiency.

SATA III 6Gb/s Performance

Equipped with a SATA III 6Gb/s interface and a dedicated controller, the Transcend M.2 SSD 420S delivers sequential read speeds of up to 500MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 430MB/s. When used as a cache, it can also significantly reduce system boot times compared with conventional hard drives.

Fast 4K Random Performance

The M.2 SSD 420S supports 4K random read and write performance of up to 75,000 IOPS. This helps improve system responsiveness, application loading and multitasking, particularly when working with demanding graphics, multimedia and other data-intensive applications.

Advanced SSD Features

Despite its compact size, the Transcend M.2 SSD 420S incorporates several technologies designed to maintain reliable SSD performance and data integrity. Built-in SLC caching helps accelerate frequently accessed data, while the RAID engine and Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) coding help detect and correct data errors.

Reliable Storage Upgrade

With its compact M.2 form factor, 3D NAND flash memory, SATA III 6Gb/s interface and advanced error-correction technologies, the Transcend M.2 SSD 420S provides a practical storage upgrade for compatible Ultrabooks and lightweight notebooks. Before purchasing, check your device's M.2 form factor, interface and compatibility requirements.
