Transcend announced the release of its latest ultra-speed Solid State Drive, a 2.5" SATA II SSD equipped with 64MB of built-in DRAM cache. Transcend’s SSD25D far outperforms standard 2.5" hard drives, delivering extraordinary sustained transfer speeds of up to 230MB/s read and 180MB/s write to guarantee blazing fast throughput, regardless of file size or type. Transcend’s new DRAM cache-equipped SSD25D features an industry-standard 3.0Gb/s SATA II interface and 2.5" form factor to allow easy and straightforward user installation in most notebook and desktop computers, just like a conventional hard drive.

The increased speed potential gained from using a ultra-speed DRAM cache makes the Transcend SSD25D an ideal upgrade for high-end gaming systems and workstations, providing a more enjoyable, lag-free computing experience—especially when used with the upcoming Windows 7 operating system. The Transcend SSD25D available in 60GB and 120GB capacities, is highly rugged, remains cool and quiet while in operation, and is practically immune to mechanical failure caused by excess vibration, shock or heat.
