This memory cache mode is also known as the Host Memory Buffer, or HMB for short. Essentially, unlike many SSDs out in the market which has a dedicated (usually DDR3 RAM) cache on the SSD PCB itself, the SM2263XT makes use of the main system memory to hold its system addressing translation tables. For the Transcend PCIe SSD 110S, it uses the Silicon Motion SM2263XT controller and the THGDU3B-1D03 3D NAND Flash.Īn interesting note about the Silicon Motion SM2263XT is that is uses a DRAM-less design. When it comes to SSDs, there are two main specifications and components to focus on, namely its controller and memory type. Of course, we will be able to expect performance that goes way beyond current SATA based SSDs. NVMe also works around the limitations of previous generation technologies, and has the ability to harness the full potential and speed of NAND based memory. Unlike usual SATA based SSDs, these new PCIe SSDs uses the NVMe protocol to translate storage commands to the system. It connects to the system via a M.2 interface, and uses the PCIe x4 interface to communicate with the main system. On the first glance, the Transcend PCIe SSD 110S looks rather simple. In this review article, we will take a deeper look at the technologies adopted by the Transcend PCIe SSD 110S and determine if the performance it provides will be sufficient for our daily usage. The Transcend PCIe SSD 110S is positioned to be an affordable and high-performing M.2 PCIe based NVMe drive targeted for mainstream users. With the falling price of SSDs, now could finally be the right time for your big storage upgrade.
