Transcend has announced a radical upgrade of its 2.5'' solid state drives (SSD). The new SSDs boast transfer speeds reaching 260MB/s and storage capacities up to 512GB, offering performance-minded enthusiasts a perfect combination of speed, high-capacity storage and long-term reliability.

According to Mr. Gordon Wu, Regional Head – South Asia, Transcend, “To boost overall performance, Transcend’s new 2.5'' SATA SSDs feature an upgraded controller chip that supports a maximum sequential transfer speed of 260MB/s read and 200 MB/s write.”

Although the 2.5'' form factor is commonly associated with notebook storage, Transcend’s 2.5'' SSDs can also be installed in desktop computers to improve performance and reliability. To provide desktop users an easy SSD upgrade solution that does not require replacing their existing hardware, Transcend now offers an SSD Desktop Upgrade Kit.

All Transcend 2.5'' Solid State Drives are backed by a two-year warranty and incorporate innovative tamper-resistant features to guarantee authenticity, including an anti-counterfeit Transcend logo security hologram and tamper-evident seals. Now available in 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities, Transcend’s new SATA SSDs are best for use with industrial computers, netbooks, notebooks and high-end gaming PCs.
