Transcend's SSD370 delivers swift performance in capacities all the way up to 1TB.

Consistently fast read and write speeds; Offered in a wide range of sizes

A bit expensive for the capacity

As more products come to market with three-bit-per-cell NAND, drives like Transcend's SSD370S with MLC become increasingly attractive. Micron, SK hynix and Toshiba all failed to make planar TLC as fast as Samsung's existing V-NAND flash.

The Transcend SSD370S features MLC flash and ships with management software; Performance is mainstream, and when you can find it on sale, it does compete with entry-level products on price

Transcend has failed to aggressively and continuously keep the SSD370 512GB price low enough to compete with other products that deliver better value; Random performance is often lower than on competing products in this class of SSDs

Transcend's SSD370S is a better-than-average SSD thanks to a deep bundle and features, but its price and warranty, relative to competitors such as Samsung, suppress its value proposition.

Available in six capacities; Includes 3.5-inch desktop bay adapter; Several high-end features; including nicely unified software suite

Three-year warranty is less than what competing drives offer; So-so write speeds; given the price; Unclear endurance rating

The Transcend SSD370S is a pretty good, affordable SSD to consider. It comes with a number of extras, plus the fact that it comes with quite a number of goodies, and is sturdy to boot.

It seems like no matter what you are purchasing there are always many various levels of quality, prices, and performance. I know I personally get stuck desiring the top of the line everything and my spouse gets a little upset about this since we end up spending extra money at times.

Good Mixed File Performance; No Loss In Performance With Incompressible Data; Desktop Mounting Kit Included; Minimal Performance Drop Off as Drive Fills; Transcend Toolbox Software; Good Performance at Higher Queue Depths; Real World Performance is Excellent; 7mm Form Factor; 3-year warranty

Warranty and Endurance Lower Than Some Competitors; Performance Slightly Lower Than SSDs In Same Price Range

What was once ultra-expensive and rare quickly becomes cheap and common in the personal computer market. Storage is possibly the best example of this. Indeed, the storage market has changed quite a bit in the 17 years I have been a computer enthusiast.

Transcend has an interesting drive in the SSD370S. Though it has been on the market for two years, it means it is using older, higher endurance NAND. These offer endurance ratings not even the newest 3D MLC NAND can quite hope to match.

Transcend SSD370S 512GB SSD retails at RM 699, this model is the one with aluminum case. There's a model that's without the ‘S' on the product name that retails less and uses plastic instead of aluminum. Transcends SSD comes with 3-years warranty.

The Transcend SSD370 128GB drive is affordable with respectable performance and supports things like TRIM & DevSleep. To help sweeten the deal it also comes with cloning software and even has a 3.5″ desktop drive bay adapter.
