It has been a topic of discussion for many, MLC, TLC, QLC, but the holy grail in terms of defiance remains the SLC of NAND writing, which is still expensive. Well, Transcend is launching a 100% SLC write M.2 SSD with great data write-back capabilities.
Transcend releases highly resilient SSD M.2 SLC with 100,000 rewrites
The number of data rewrites is 100,000 and therefore 32 times higher than the average of their “BiCS4” products. In addition, the quality has been improved by the production of high-quality FGT DRAM caches, which are manufactured by major companies and partly in Transcend-owned factories in Taiwan.
SLC SSD Benefits
It is ideal for applications with high write frequency such as servers, medical devices, monitoring systems, and terminals. The capacity range is available in three models: 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The transfer rate offered by these SSDs is 560MB/sec for sequential read, 420MB/sec for write, 56,000 IOPS for random read and 75,000 IOPS for write.
The read and write speeds are surprisingly low for an M.2 interface, but this is compensated by the TBW numbers. The write speed is 3600 TB for the 64 GB model, 7200 TB for the 128 GB model and 14,400 TB for the 256 GB model. These are superior to all the conventional SSDs that we find on the market.
Unfortunately, the low volume is not the only weakness of the storage devices. They can’t boast and they can’t be fast enough. The sequential read speed is only 560 MB/sec and the sequential write speed 420 MB/sec. The read and write performance is up to 56,000 and 75,000 IOPS respectively. In other words, this is the level of SATA 6Gb/s drives. However, in the intended application area of the SSD TSXXGMTS952TX – industrial and embedded systems – reliability and durability are guaranteed.
