Transcend MSA450T mSATA SSD Ready for Industrial and Embedded Applications
2 min readTranscend Information is proud to announce the release of the Transcend MSA450T industrial solid-state drive equipped with 3D TLC NAND flash memory. The Transcend MSA450T comes with DDR3 DRAM cache, low-density parity check (LDPC), and other features that make for a stable, long-lasting product ready for write-intensive industrial and embedded applications.
Transcend MSA450T with 3D TLC NAND Flash
3D TLC NAND flash is own for its better write endurance and performance that can rival Planar (2D) MLC NAND flash but at a very competitive price point. Not only the higher capacities can be achieved in a smaller physical space with 3D TLC NAND, the write endurance and write performance are greatly improved as well.
The Transcend MSA450T features 3D TLC NAND which offers higher write performance of up to 400MB/s. Meanwhile, as compared to 160MB/s on the MSA370 which comes with 2D MLC NAND.
Exclusive Technology for Enhanced Performance and Reliability
The Transcend MSA450T comes with DDR3 DRAM cache to boost its write performance. The cache acts as a buffer, which helps to increase the drive performance by dedicating fast NAND to read/write cycle.
An advanced low-density parity check (LDPC) error correction code is also available on the MSA450T to automatically correct errors during operation to ensure data integrity and drive longevity. With more bits which are corrected during operation, the usable life of a flash greatly increases.
