Transcend SATA III SSD340 Fast Performance for All Your Computing Needs Aimed at users looking to upgrade to the superior performance of solid-state technology at a competitive price, Transcends SSD340 with SATA III 6 GB/s technology makes sluggish computer boot-up and program launches a problem of the past. Boasting impressive transfer rates and excellent reliability, the SSD340 allows computer enthusiasts and gamers to take their system to the next level. The SSD340 is ideal for users who use their computer primarily for everyday applications like internet browsing, basic computing, playing music or watching films. To fulfill the diverse needs to different users, the SSD340 is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux based systems. The 256 GB* SSD340 acts as the perfect system partition (for installing your operating system). SSD technology offers other advantages over traditional spinning hard drives. Since there are no moving parts in the SSD340, it is highly shock and vibration resistant. Consequently, less power is consumed versus a traditional hard drive increasing the energy efficiency of your devices when used in concert with a SATA III SSD. Rapid Data Transmission Transcends SSD340 offers impressive transfer rates of up to 520 MB/s sequential read and up to 290 MB/s write speeds and up to 69,000 IOPS 4K random write speeds. Even large amounts of data can now be transferred in a matter of seconds. Supports DevSleep Mode The SSD340 maximizes notebook battery life when not in use thanks to full support of SATA Device Sleep Mode (DevSleep). DevSleep ultra low power state conserves more battery power than current power saving features such as standby mode by shutting down the SATA interface completely. And with a remarkable response time of less than 20 milliseconds, you can start working on your computer again almost instantly. Improved Boot-Up and System Response Time Transcends SSD720 optimizes your PC to reach top speeds and reduces system response time. Reboot your PC in just 24 seconds, reducing wait times by 60%. In comparison, to boot Windows 7 from a conventional hard drives takes about 82 seconds. When using the SSD720, files and programs, even memory-intensive applications like graphics programs, open in merely a few seconds. Performance Upgrade Transcend's SSD340 is built using high-quality synchronous multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory for enduring performance and features the next-generation SATA III 6Gb/s interface, DDR3 DRAM cache, and a powerful controller. As a result, the SSD340 makes everyday computing tasks, such as booting up your computer, launching applications, and transferring data, quicker than ever before. Exceptionally Slim To meet the size requirements of new generation Ultrabooks, the SSD340 is 7 mm thick, compared to 9.5 mm thickness of other SSDs. Using an industry-standard 2.5 form factor and super-slim body, the SSD340 can be easily installed into any device. Advantages of Solid State Technology vs. Traditional HDD

Shock Resistant Unlike traditional hard drives, SSDs are manufactured with reliable NAND flash memory. As SSDs contain no moving parts, they are more resilient to mechanical failures that can result from vibration, shock or heat. Notably Silent Operation of an SSD is remarkably silent as there are no moving or rotating parts. Temperature Traditional HDDs can considerably heat up during operation. A SSD, however, remains cool. Due to reduced heat development, annoying buzzing sounds originating from the SSD are rare. Energy Efficiency SSDs are extremely energy efficient compared to a HDD. Save energy, money and the environment. Extended Battery Life When used in a portable device, the SSDs positive attributes like an increased battery life and light weight become particularly apparent.

SSD Scope Software Key features of the SSD Scope Software include: Free Download From Transcends website, you can download the SSD Scope software for your SSD340 free of charge. The software allows you to optimize your SSDs performance by enabling firmware updates, counteracts wear and provides preventative maintenance. S.M.A.R.T Function S.M.A.R.T. is a tool to monitor and analyze the health of the SSD. The S.M.A.R.T. functions relay information such as temperature and erase count to detect possible errors or failures before they occur. TRIM Command For Windows 7, TRIM command releases allocated memory by deleting unnecessary data. By communicating with the operating system, TRIM automatically removes deleted data permanently, eliminating the need to secure erase all data on the drive. Consequently, the optimum write speed of your SSD is maintained, and the lifetime is maximized. For operating systems which do not support the TRIM command, SSD 340 will utilize its garbage collection to manage free space. In addition, wear-leveling and ECC error correction is integrated to ensure reliable data transfers. Secure Erase Used as a method to combat performance degradation, Secure Erase guarantees the reliable, permanent removal of all data on the drive to continue peak performance over time. You can choose between Quick Erase (Quick Deletion) or Full Erase (Thorough Delete). System Clone System Clone helps you transfer your over to the SSD340. This function easily and safely creates a clone of your existing hard drive then transfers it to your new SSD. Nothing else needs to be installed nor are there additional steps to be taken afterwards. Upgrading to a SSD is a breeze. Your same device is now lightning fast. Firmware Updates To keep your SSD up-to-date, compare and download the latest firmware update from the SSD Scope menu. Completed in three easy steps, firmware updates allow you to take full advantage of all the SSD Scope functions. The latest firmware ensures your SSD is always at optimum performance and recommended for continued reliable operation.

Mounting Kit Included for Desktop PCs Included with the SSD340 is a 3.5" mounting kit, consisting of a bay adapter and eight mounting screws. Once attached to the chassis, you can use the 2.5" SSD340 in the standard 3.5" space. Compatible Operating Systems Transcend SSD340 is compatible with all operating systems which support the AHCI mode and reaches maximum speed when using the SATA III 6GB/s interface. SSD 340 is compatible with:
