Transcend SSD225S 2.5″ 1TB SATA III 3D NAND SSD (TS1TSSD225S)

The Transcend SSD225S 1TB is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive designed for straightforward upgrades in desktop PCs and laptops that use a SATA III (6 Gb/s) interface. Built on 3D NAND flash technology, it stacks memory cells vertically to deliver a more efficient and durable storage experience compared to older planar NAND designs. With sequential read speeds of up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 500 MB/s, the SSD225S offers a substantial performance uplift over traditional mechanical hard drives. Boot times, application launches, and large file transfers all benefit from this increased throughput. Random performance is rated at up to 65,000 IOPS for reads and up to 75,000 IOPS for writes, helping the drive remain responsive during multi-tasking workloads. The drive supports S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology), which allows compatible system utilities to monitor drive health over time and provide early warning of potential issues. TRIM support enables the operating system to communicate with the SSD about unused data blocks, helping maintain long-term write performance and extending the drive's operational lifespan. Fitting the standard 2.5-inch form factor, the SSD225S is compatible with a wide range of desktop systems and laptops that accept 2.5-inch SATA drives. It is sold under SKU TS1TSSD225S and is manufactured by Transcend, a company with an established history in memory and storage products.
