Transcend's MTS400 M.2 SSD's next generation SATA III 6Gb/s interface and ultra compact dimensions make it best suited to address the high performance needs and strict size limitations of small form factor devices. This means it is perfect for use in today's modern Ultrabooks and thin, light notebooks. Meeting the latest SATA III 6Gb/s specifications, and featuring a powerful controller and exceptional transfer speeds of up to 560MB/s read and 460MB/s write, the M.2 SSD easily handles everyday computing tasks as well as demanding multimedia applications. Intel Smart Response Technology Transcend's SATA III 6Gb/s MTS400 M.2 SSD supports Intel® Smart Response Technology (ISRT), which allows you to configure your computer system with an SSD used as cache memory between the hard disk drive and system memory. This provides the advantage of having a hard disk drive for maximum storage capacity with SSD-like overall system performance. 

ISRT works by monitoring which programs and files you access most frequently and storing them on the SSD. As a result, application launch speed and overall system responsiveness are significantly improved, while space on your large-capacity hard drive is freed up for other programs and files. In this configuration, only one drive letter is displayed; no additional drive letter is required for the SSD used as cache.
