The SSD720 is the newest next generation SSD in Transcends
product line. It combines the latest
SATA III 6Gb/s specification with a powerful SandForce controller and offers
transfer speeds of up to 560MB/s read and 540MB/s write. Designed with multitasking power users in mind, the
productivity-enhancing SSD720 will revolutionize system boot up time,
application launch speed, and overall system responsiveness.
To meet size
limitations for many of today’s Ultrabooks, Netbooks and Notebooks, the SSD720 is
a just mere 7mm in thickness. Although smaller
than most SSD’s the SSD720 uses the same SATA connector used on the 2.5” Hard
Disk Drives and is backwards compatible with the SATA I and SATA II.
Transcend’s SSD720,
a next generation SATA III 6Gb/s solid state drive (SSD), has been declared
as “Must Have” product by independent
Review KitGuru. Competing
against a huge selection of leading drives from market competitors, the
reviewer commended Transcend`s SATA III 6Gb/s SSD720 for its fast transfer
performance: “It performs better than
many of the competing SandForce 2281 powered drives” thanks to the use of industry-leading
toggle-mode MLC NAND flash chips, and then added, “IOPS performance is also
well above average, meaning that it can be used for more serious
workstation/server duties while maintaining a high level of sustainable
throughput.”
The
SSD720 was especially praised in the ATTO Disk Benchmark performance measurement
section of the review: ”Performance with ATTO is class leading – measuring 559
MB/s read and 526 MB/s write,” outperforming all other same-class drives
tested. (ATTO is used to measure storage systems performance with various
transfer sizes and test lengths for reads and writes). “We have no hesitation
in recommending this drive as a versatile, fast and competitively priced choice
for a high performance boot drive,” the reviewer from KitGuru concluded,
awarding it a well-deserved “Must Have Award”.

SSD’s contain no
moving parts, are shock and vibration resistant, offer low power consumption
and cool, silent operation that can help increase the efficiency and battery
run-time of the latest thin and light form factor devices. Completing file
operations at least three times faster and providing ultra-low access latencies
by avoiding platter “seek time”, the SSD720 is the ideal drop-in replacement
for standard rotating hard drives.
