Reduce boot times and enjoy faster file transfers on your computers by replacing their hard disk drives with Transcend® solid state drives. SSDs are faster, lighter, and smaller than traditional hard disk drives. They are also more power-efficient and quieter. With no mechanical or moving parts, these flash-based storage devices last longer and offer more consistent performance throughout their lifespan. Staples® has a wide selection of SSDs from Transcend and other popular brands of computer storage devices.
Choose Between Internal and External Transcend Solid State Drives
You need an internal solid state drive to replace the hard disk inside your laptop or desktop PC. This occupies the slot filled by an internal HDD and connects directly to the motherboard. External SSDs offer similar conveniences and the same fast data transfer rates. They can serve as mobile data storage solutions and are especially useful if you store and work with heavy files. A portable SSD has a sturdy enclosure that protects it from dust, water, and damage caused by accidental drops. It connects to a computer via a USB port and is small enough to carry in your pocket or laptop bag.
Consider Interface and Form Factor When Shopping for Transcend Solid State Drives
SSDs come in multiple sizes with most of them available in the 2.5-inch form factor. This is the same size as the hard disk drives found in regular laptops. To use a 2.5-inch solid state drive in a desktop computer, you need an adapter to make it fit the 3.5-inch HDD slot found in most PC towers. You can also find Transcend SSDs in two smaller form factors: M.2 and mSATA. Both of these are for ultrathin computers and tablets. M.2 or NGFF (Next Generation Form Factor) succeeds mSATA and can use a wider selection of interfaces including SATA and PCI Express.
Transcend makes internal SSDs with PATA, SATA II, and SATA III interfaces while reserving USB 3.0 for its portable drives. You should choose a model with an interface supported by the motherboard in your computer. SATA III drives offer the fastest data transfer speeds.
What Is the Difference 3D and 2D NAND Transcend Solid State Drives?
Some Transcend SSDs use the newer 3D NAND flash memory while others have 2D or planar NAND chips. The memory cells in 3D NAND occupies multiple layers of vertical stacks. SSDs that use this technology are denser, faster, and more reliable than those with 2D NAND cells. They also use less power.
Should You Get MLC Transcend Solid State Drives?
Yes. MLC or multi-level cell is a NAND flash memory type that stores two bits per cell. Most consumer-grade SSDs use MLC and TLC cells. A TLC or triple-level SSD stores three bits of information per cell. MLC SSDs are typically more reliable and more durable than TLC models.
Can You Add Transcend Solid State Drives to Mac® Computers?
Yes. Most modern desktop operating systems fully support SSDs. You can easily upgrade the hard drive in your Mac desktop or laptop computer yourself. Transcend even offers a toolkit that contains everything required to install internal SSDs.
