Transcend's M.2 SSD MTE712A is a self-encrypting drive (SED) that complies with the TCG Opal 2.0 standards. Data is protected using the hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption and LBA (Logical Block Address)sector-specific permissions.
The MTE712A features the 112-layer 3D NAND flash and the PCI Express (PCIe) Gen 4 x4 interface, achieving never-before-seen transfer speeds. Its built-in DRAM cache allows faster random speeds while the 30µ" gold finger PCB, Corner Bond technology, and anti-sulfur resistor guarantee its reliability in harsh conditions. The MTE712A is fully tested in-house, operating stably in an extended operating temperature range (-20℃~75℃).
