Transcend JetDrive 725 480GB SSD

The Transcend JetDrive 725 is a 480GB solid state drive built with MLC memory for consumer use. It functions as both an internal SATA drive and an external USB device using the included enclosure and adapter. The package supplies a MacBook-compliant SSD, screwdrivers, screws, a USB cable, rubber feet and a travel pouch for quick installation.

USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s interface limits

The drive connects through USB 3.0 or SATA 6Gb/s, so throughput is capped by whichever link is active. Sequential reads reach up to 570MB/s and writes up to 460MB/s when the host interface can sustain those rates. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 70°C, and the enclosure measures 10.8mm by 37.2mm by 110.9mm.

480GB capacity and practical headroom

At 480GB the drive holds an operating system, applications and a moderate media library with room for updates. MLC memory provides consistent write endurance for daily workloads, though sustained heavy writes will eventually hit the sequential ceiling. The dual-interface design lets you move the drive between internal upgrades and external backups without reformatting.
