Transcend will launch Solid State Drives in India

With the ever-increasing popularity of compact notebooks and high-end portable devices, the demand for solid-state drives (SSD) is steadily rising across the globe and in India. Transcend is poised at the forefront of this new solid-state revolution, offering a complete line of SSD products including its brand-new 1.8 portable SSD (SSD18M) that features the versatility of both eSATA and USB connection interfaces in capacities of up to 128GB, and also 1.8 and 2.5 form-factor SATA-II and IDE interface SSDs with up to 192GB storage capacity. All of these high-speed reliable drives are backed by a two-year warranty along with the support of Transcend's global service network. Transcend aims to aggressively market its full line of Solid State Drives in India as the company sees the Indian market quickly warming up to this new and superior storage technology.

Austin Huang, Regional Head - Sales, SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, "People seek higher reliability and low power consumption from their storage drives and SSD is the perfect solution for their needs. Transcend solid state drives are all equipped with lightweight case, high reliability, low power consumption and incredible resistance to shock and vibration. These features make them ideal drop-in replacements for conventional hard disk drives in both industrial and portable devices like ultra compact notebooks that require long battery life and must be durable enough to withstand a few bumps and scratches."

Combining the speed and durability advantages of solid-state technology, Transcend's SSD18M is a new type of storage device that offers fashionable good looks and high-capacity mobile storage convenience. Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Transcend's SSD18M contains no moving parts, which not only eliminates the possibility of mechanical failure resulting from vibration and shock, but also provides substantial weight savings and reduced power consumption. With both eSATA and USB2.0 interface options, this portable SSD18M features the ultimate in connection flexibility, offering guaranteed speed along with multi-platform compatibility.

All Transcend SSDs have built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) that ensures highly reliable data transfer and increases overall system integrity. Advanced wear-leveling technology also guarantees ultra-long lifespan and data-retention durability for long-term use.
