Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Transcend is very pleased to announce its 2.5-inch IDE Solid State Disk (SSD), which is compatible with most mainstream PC and notebook computers. The 2.5-inch IDE interface SSD has a tough outer metal case, enormous capacities, high reliability, low power consumption and anti-shock features that make it ideal to replace Hard Disk Drives. Transcend’s 2.5-inch IDE SSD series has a distinct advantage over standard 2.5” HDDs in that it is a solid-state memory with no moving parts, and therefore not susceptible to mechanical failure as a result of vibrations. Transcend’s 2.5-inch IDE SSD is compact in size and its thickness is only 7.4mm, which makes it very easy to install in PCs and notebooks. In addition, the 2.5-inch IDE SSD has built-in ECC (Error Correction Code) functionality that ensures highly reliable data transfer and increases your systems energy efficiency.

The new generation of hard drives has finally arrived, with Transcend?s Solid State Disk taking first place! This hard drive has a distinct advantage over standard hard drives because it has no moving parts, and is therefore not susceptible to mechanical failure as a result of vibrations. It?s just 7 mm thick and can be easily slotted into a desktop or laptop computer. It?s faster than traditional hard drives and consumes less power. It?s also equipped with a function that optimises energy use for greater user comfort, and has a 16 GB storage capacity so you can store just about anything.

5.0 out of 5 stars solid-state on HP Tablet PC, 3 April 2009
By Mr. F. Kay - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
replaced the original spinning drive in my faithful HP T110 Tablet, nowadays running Vista Business, using Ghost to migrate. No problems - write performance is a little slower than the original drive, but battery life is better, and it's quiet!

4.0 out of 5 stars nice quality niche drive for its IDE class, 25 Jan 2010
By Quaddy (club tech-noir) - See all my reviews
nice quality drive, useful for adding the finishing touch to that old, but cherished laptop/tablet (HP TC1100 in this case) that you are clinging onto

admittedly expensive for the storage capacity being bought compared to desktop or even laptop magnetic hard drives, but anyone looking at a drive like this, probably, like me, were just after housing a non-bloated operating system only with the added benfits an SSD brings in an older system with IDE interface only

read and write operations are limited by its own interface (IDE) compared with all the newer sata models, but you will see a small improvement in responsiveness and speed in the majority of tasks, certainly my win7 boot was quicker and has definitely made a noticeable improvement to heat and battery longevity despite naysayers claiming that SSD doesnt actually have battery benefits, well it does here and its not placebo.

this SLC version i am sure will beat the overall performance of the cheaper MLC models, so bare that in mind when you see a larger capacity for the same price or cheaper, remember that MLC can be a disapointment in practise, especially in IDE/PATA where a drive like this has minimal gains anyway - so max out and go SLC for a more reliable and satisfying purchase if you are limited by needing IDE in the first place

two physical things to make mention of, this drive was a fair bit thinner in its height | than the magnetic drive it replaced, so in order to avoid strain on the pins when fitted, i secured a piece of cardboard to its belly cut to size to make it the right height so as to match the previous drive.

also, be careful to avoid inserting the drive upside down, sounds obvious i know, but when the jumper is removed from the two pin set to one side of the SSD drive, it all blends into one in terms of looking down at the jumper/data pins and it will fry your IDE controller and the drive itself, made more confusing by the fact that in my tablet the drive i replaced was upside down in its orientation anyway, so if i had replaced like for like i would have had problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, 10 Aug 2010
By Calum Grant "calumg" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Transcend TS8GSSD25-S 8GB 2.5" Internal SSD - Slc (Electronics)
This product represents poor value per Gigabyte, however the real-world results are excellent. The SLC means that there are no system lock-ups writing to disk, and it's better to get a more responsive system than one with unnecessary capacity. 8GB is plenty for Linux.
