Details
SSD (Solid State Disk) is the future storage option for laptop and desktop computers alike. SSD units have no moving parts and as such the consume much less power, hence improving the battery life of any laptop. They are also more reliable than standard HDDs and for added peace of mind they include an ECC Error-Correction feature.

The 8GB Transcend SATA SSD is based on SLC Flash which guarantees significantly faster read and write speeds. We recommend this type of SLC for SSDs intended for installation of operating systems.

Transcend’s 2.5-inch SATA SSD series has a distinct advantage over standard 2.5” HDDs in that they are made of solid-state memory with no moving parts, and therefore not susceptible to mechanical failure resulting from vibration, shock, heat, etc. Its modern SATA interface delivers higher data transfer rates than standard IDE and ensures compatibility with today’s high performance notebook and desktop computers.

Transfer speeds as rated by Transcend:
Read up to 150MB/s, Write up to 90MB/s

8GB Sata SSD Drive Transcend
September 19th 2009 Verified user
Used this SSD for Master drive with OS installed on it to increase boot times and reliability. The boot time and some processes like large folder deletions are a lot faster with the OS on a SSD. A cache on the SSD is important, I since learned.
I put this SSD disk into 16 PC's in total and only 1 of the 16 SSD's stopped working. I lost all access to the faulty SSD but I had it backed up. The SSD was replaced for me with no real hassle via the RMA process.
Not the best read/write times compared to other SSD's but it's a good little work horse compared to hard drive in the same position. I wanted reliability and I have it from this disk. The broken 1 never worked, it was broken out of the box.
