It renders the computer more responsive, boots it up faster and even launches application in a relatively less amount of time. The increased speed of the drive makes it an ideal upgrade for high-end gaming systems and workstations. Moreover, it is also compatible with the Windows 7 platform.
Austin Huang, Regional Head – Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, “Thanks to its advanced solid-state technology, Transcend’s SSD25D far outperforms standard 2.5″ hard drives.

The SSD250D is capable of tolerating excess vibrations, heat or shock. All thanks to the NAND flash memory that contains no moving parts, this rugged drive maintains cool and silent operation. The Error Correction Code ensures accurate data transfer while built-in wear leveling technology delivers consistent and long operational life.
This drive features an industry standard 3.0Gbps SATA II interface and is compatible with majority of the notebooks and desktops available in the market. The drive claims to deliver a longer battery life as it consumes a relatively less amount of energy.
