Transcend SSD720 512GB review

Is this SandForce based SSD getting a bit long in the tooth?

Good compressible data performance ; Decent sequential read/write

SandForce controller showing age ; 4K random writes not great

Notably, it delivers its impressive peak performance numbers beyond the 500MB/s mark courtesy of data compression. Which is clever, except that much of the data you shunt around, like images and music and video, isn't compressible. That explains why...

Transcend SSD720 128GB review

Another solid SandForce SSD, but has that controller had its day?

Solid speed ; Good price/performance ratio ; 7mm format for notebooks

Not as quick with incompressible data as others

Silicon Power Velox V60 120 GB and Transcend SSD720 128 GB SSD Review

Two different manufacturers, slightly different storage capacity, but absolutely identical hardware based on LSI SF-2281 controller inside. This is the reason why we decided to combine these two products in the same review.

Transcend SSD720 256GB SSD Review

Transcend goes for gold with its new flagship SSD720 product that brings LSI SandForce performance to a new higher capacity point. The new 7mm package coupled with 24nm flash and working TRIM makes this the best RAISE free SandForce offering yet.
