Transcend 128GB MSA740 SATA III 6 Gbps mSATA Solid State Drive

The 128GB MSA740 SATA III 6 Gbps mSATA Solid State Drive from Transcend supports the next generation Serial ATA interface and is built around a powerful controller. It delivers blazing fast performance and offers long-term reliability. The compact mSATA form factor is just one-eighth the size of a standard 2.5" Solid State Drive, making it perfect for use in space-restricted portable devices such as Ultrabooks, Tablet PCs and slim servers.

The MSA740 mSATA SSD supports Intel Smart Response Technology (ISRT), which allows you to configure your computer system with a Solid State Drive that can be used as cache memory between the hard disk drive and system memory. This provides the double advantage of having a hard disk drive for maximum storage capacity and delivering an overall system performance experience of a Solid State Drive.

ISRT works by monitoring programs and files which you access most frequently and stores them on the Solid State Drive. As a result, application launch speed and overall system responsiveness are significantly improved, while the large capacity of the hard drive is free to store all your other programs and files. In this configuration, only one drive letter is displayed; no additional drive letter is required for the Solid State Drive used as cache.
