Transcend TS64GSSD420K User Manual

SSD420 –
SATA III 6Gb/s SSD

Thanks to the Ultra-slim (fit the standard dimensions
of 2.5” SATA Hard Disk Drives) form factor, huge
capacity, SATA 6Gb/s speeds, and low power
consumption, Solid State Drives have become the
perfect storage device replacement for Ultrabooks,
PCs, Laptops, gaming systems, and handheld
devices.

- Fully compatible with devices and OS that support
the SATA III 6.0Gb/s standard

- Non-volatile Flash Memory for outstanding data
retention

- Supports Trim and NCQ command
