On January 25, 2018, Taiwan-based storage maker Transcend announced the release of 2.5-inch and M.2-size industrial-grade SSDs that use 3D TLC NAND flash.
Officials said the new 3D TLC NAND flash memory performance has been able to achieve the level of 2D MLC NAND flash memory, but the former has an advantage in terms of price.A new generation of industrial solid state drives with SLC cache, random read and write performance has a greater advantage .
3D TLC NAND flash memory with a three-dimensional stacked design, so in the case of the same size can significantly improve the capacity of flash memory particles. Officials said compared to 2D MLC NAND, 3D NAND faster, more reliable, more capacity, the most It is important that the product be more price-competitive.
The new industrial-grade SSDs provide data protection and error correction features such as RAID, LDPC, etc. Scope Pro software is also provided to monitor device status, view SMART status, diagnostics scans, and secure erase , Health indicators, system cloning and firmware updates.
The new 3D TLC NAND solid state drive will provide a 3-year warranty, the price and the specific listing date yet to be announced.
