It's been quite some time since our last SSD roundup and we hadn't seen much need for one until recently. SSD technology grew stale after saturating the SATA 6Gb/s bus, bringing mostly minor improvements in recent memory and making up for it with price...

The Transcend SSD370S is an affordable and satisfying upgrade for any computers that still run on a hard drive.

While manufacturers have announced larger capacity SSDs (2TB and more), for storing a lot of files, a mechanical HDD is still a much more affordable option. This looks set to change in the future though, as SSD production volume increases lead to lower...

The price point of the Transcend SSD370 SSD is incredible and hits stores at a mere ¢43/GB. Add to that the included SSD Scope Utility that makes cloning an SSD very simple, followed by a simple swap of the two drives.

The Transcend SSD370 just backs up what major SSD makers have said for years. If you want a guaranteed product you need to buy from a fab. The CONS section shows it perfectly. You might as well roll the dice and see what you get when ordering a...

It's been ten years since last testing any Transcend products, back in the days of DDR2 memory and 1GB flash drives. However, that changed when recently picking up a Transcend SSD370 256GB solid-state drive.In quickly needing another solid-state drive...

I would still, however, recommend the MX100 and Ultra II for users that are concerned about battery life because of SSD370's high idle power consumption. If Transcend SSD370 was able to fix that through a firmware update, it would be safe to say that the SSD370 would be the best value SSD on the market.

Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs...

The Transcend SSD370's sequential read speeds are very good, exceeding 550 MB/s in some tests. That is also very close to Transcend's specifications for the drive. However, sequential write speeds of around 419 MB/s is quite a bit shy. Performance was...
