Is your Mac running out of breath? The JetDrive 850 from Transcend uses the ultra-fast NVMe PCIe Gen3.0 interface and breathes new life into your MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini or Mac Pro! Also included are two screwdrivers for easy upgrades. This allows you to increase the internal memory of your Mac to up to 960 GB and once again have enough space for all your documents, photos, music and videos.

High-speed performance

Transcend's JetDrive 850 utilises PCIe's Gen3 x4 interface paired with the latest 3D NAND flash, resulting in impressive performance of up to 1,600 MB/s read and 1,400 MB/s write. Transcend's JetDrive 850 gives you smooth, real-time performance for demanding professional tasks, video editing or 3D graphics rendering

Consistent performance thanks to JetDrive Toolbox

The JetDrive Toolbox is a practical software for managing Transcend's Apple storage solutions. The software helps you to keep the SSD up to date, rectify errors and counteract wear and tear on the SSD. The tool allows you to display drive information, output S.M.A.R.T. values, assess the health of the SSD and update the firmware.

Compatibility:

MacBook Air 13" mid 2013 - 2017 / MacBook Air 11" mid 2013 - early 2014 / MacBook Air 11" early 2015 / MacBook Pro (Retina) 13" late 2013 - early 2015 / MacBook Pro (Retina) 15" late 2013 - mid 2015 / Mac mini late 2014 / Mac Pro late 2013

3D NAND flash memory

With 3D NAND (also known as V-NAND or 3D V-NAND), the transistors are positioned vertically to the chip surface and the flash memory cells are arranged in layers on top of each other. This achieves a higher storage density and at the same time reduces the risk of interference between the cells. Thanks to the shortened connections between the cells, electrical performance increases and power consumption is also reduced as a result.

NVMe protocol for lower latencies

This SSD particularly shines in systems with NVMe support. You benefit from high throughput, high IOPS and low latency. In contrast to the older AHCI protocol, which was developed for conventional, spinning drives, NVMe prevents performance degradation, offers faster transfer of large amounts of data, increased boot speeds and improved system response time.
