Description
Transcend MSA230S 128GB mSATA SATA III 6Gb/s Internal SSD
TS128GMSA230S
The Transcend MSA230S 128GB (TS128GMSA230S) is a compact and reliable mSATA SSD designed for ultrabooks, mini PCs, embedded systems, and legacy devices requiring small-form-factor storage. Built on a SATA III 6Gb/s interface, it delivers sequential speeds of up to 550 MB/s read and 400 MB/s write, significantly improving boot times and system responsiveness compared to traditional hard drives.
Engineered with 3D NAND flash and a DDR3 DRAM cache, the MSA230S provides improved performance consistency and faster data access, making it suitable for everyday computing and light workloads.
Its mSATA form factor, which is roughly one-eighth the size of a standard 2.5″ SSD, makes it ideal for space-constrained devices such as ultrabooks, tablets, and compact servers.
The drive incorporates advanced features including LDPC ECC, RAID engine support, TRIM, and S.M.A.R.T monitoring, ensuring data integrity and long-term reliability.
With an endurance rating of around 80TB TBW and low power consumption support via DevSleep mode, the MSA230S is a dependable and efficient upgrade for legacy systems or specialised applications.
