SSD disk Transcend 512 GB M.2 PCI Express 4.0 NVMe 3D NAND TS512GMTE712A

Transcend M.2 SSD MTE712A is a 512 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe drive that uses PCI Express Gen 4 x4 interface and 112-layer 3D NAND flash to deliver high-speed storage in a compact form factor. The drive implements hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption and adheres to TCG Opal 2.0 self-encrypting drive (SED) standards, offering sector-specific protection with LBA permissions. Built-in DRAM cache improves random performance, while board-level features and testing ensure reliable operation across an extended temperature range.

Advantages

The SSD provides high transfer speeds enabled by PCIe 4.0 and a Gen4 x4 NVMe interface, combined with 112-layer 3D NAND for improved density and efficiency. Hardware AES 256-bit encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 compliance deliver on-drive data protection. Integrated DRAM cache enhances random I/O performance, and manufacturing measures such as 30µ" gold fingers, Corner Bond technology, anti-sulfur resistor and in-house testing contribute to durability and stability in demanding environments.
