Transcend Information Inc. (Transcend), a global leader in industrial memory storage, is proud to announce its first industrial-grade PCIe M.2 22110 SSD, the MTE730P. This SSD features Power Loss Protection (PLP) technology, ensuring robust data integrity even in the most demanding environments. With PCIe Gen 4 performance and capacities of up to 4 TB, the MTE730P meets the needs of high-end industrial automation, blade servers, data centers, and other modern storage applications.

Power Loss Protection: Create Higher Data Integrity
The MTE730P's Power Loss Protection (PLP) technology is a critical feature for applications such as automated manufacturing, medical systems, transportation systems, and financial transaction. It ensures that the built-in tantalum capacitors provide power to the controller and DRAM cache during power fluctuations or outages, guaranteeing maximum data integrity and security.
When Speeds Meets Reliability
Built with 112-layer 3D NAND flash, an 8-channel controller, and a PCIe Gen 4 x4 interface, Transcend's MTE730P delivers impressive sequential speeds of up to 7,500/6,700 MB/s. The built-in DRAM cache enables faster data access and smoother processing. Additionally, the MTE730P is equipped with 30µ" PCB gold finger, Corner Bond, and anti-sulfur resistors to protect key components in extreme industrial environments. Having undergone rigorous testing, the MTE730P is able to operate stably under Wide Temperature range (-40°C~85°C), showcasing its outstanding durability and reliability.

Scope Pro Monitoring Software Solution
The MTE730P is compatible with Transcend's exclusive Scope Pro monitoring software tool. With its user-friendly interface, Scope Pro allows users to monitor drive health status remotely, including remaining storage capacity, S.M.A.R.T. analysis, and tantalum capacitance value, etc. Transcend also provides a Software Development Kit (SDK) that can be seamlessly integrated into businesses' internal systems, elevating efficiency while reducing maintenance cost and system downtime.

As a leading brand in the field of embedded memory and storage products, Transcend is committed to being a global innovator at the forefront of memory technology. We have a strong research & development team and experienced tech support team deployed globally, and our manufacturing base in Taiwan allows us to provide competitive storage solutions that help us stay at the forefront of the global market.

Transcend's MTE730P SSD comes with a three-year limited warranty.

It doesn't say, but the NAND must be TLC because it's around 1500 full drive writes which is respectable for TLC and not a million miles away from MLC endurance.

Once again, lack of pricing information makes this press release worthless as SSDs with this functionality and feature set have existed for years already. The only thing that would potentially make this newsworthy would be competitive pricing.

This product isn't intended for us mere mortals.
You'd have to find a distributor and ask for pricing, as these products from Transcend never enter any kind of retail channel.

If these are never ever going to enter any kind of retail channel, and therefore inaccessible to us mere mortals, why the hell is TPU even covering it?

It is, by your definition, useless to TPUs audience.

No it's for medical and such places were they can charge the most for the caps they put on it haha.

We cover a bunch of stuff that never enters the retail channel.
There are also a lot of readers here that work with computer stuff, which I guess is why we cover server and such.

That's me, but even if I encounter this drive in the wild, I'll have had no say in the matter. An OEM will simply have included it in a server/SAN/NAS that I've procured and it won't even be listed as a component. The only way I'll know I have one is if I pop open the cover on whatever I've bought and happen to spot it when I'm having a gander at the parts under the hood. I have to admit I do that quite frequently, but only as a true hardware nerd. There's no reason for me to do that other than irrelevant curiousity.

This press realease isn't even for us, it's for the vanishingly miniscule number of product designers at storage and server manufacturers who have Transcend as a preferred partner. That's maybe fewer than 100 people worldwide :\

Just like with many QLC drives, they expect a lot of the repeated writes to hit the DRAM cache, and therefore inflating the endurance ratings. And while the cache will typically help somewhat, all flash technology are still needing to rewrite cells for any tiny change, so if there are enough of "tiny" changes across the drive it will use up a lot of "endurance" regardless of how many bits there are per cell.

Not any kind of retail channel is probably a strong word, as enterprise and server parts are rarely forbidden for retail sales, but rather up to the stores or chains to decide which products they feature. Some enterpricy parts like HDDs, CPUs, motherboards or UPS' have fairly wide availability in "normal" retail stores, while others are really hard to find.

It also depends greatly on which country you live in. Like for me, there are two online stores in my country selling the vast majority of relevant enterprise parts to individuals. This is probably true for many other countries too, you just have to know where to look. Lastly there is of course the "second hand" markets (like ebay), which in some cases may even have new parts for sale, but at the very least we can expect some availability of such parts used after about ~3 years. While I would never buy a SSD used, I would consider the vast majority of other parts. :)

Nah, it's for people at smaller companies too, as this won't be anything insanely expensive I would guess and if you're building embedded devices that need some extra data protection, this might be for you. Transcend doesn't tend to a be a company you have to order huge volumes from, but you have to go through their distributors to get hold of their non consumer products. Someone I know used to work for them, but he got a more interesting job so...

The DRAM on a SSD is not a write cache. It stores metadata (FTL).

Believe it or not, they're really not difficult to find. They come in at a bit of a price premium but can be obtained.

I've never understood why SSD's don't have a write-cache. Seems like a very short sighted design omission.

But they do it's the SLC cache but yeah I know what you're talking about
