The JetDrive 855 includes a stylish aluminum Thunderbolt housing for a simple upgrade experience. Both models are the perfect upgrade for a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, Mac mini, or Mac Pro, increasing the speed at which data is processed.

PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe interface enables transfer rates of up to 1, 600 MB / s

Transcend's JetDrive 850 features the PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe interface, which means that four lanes are used to transmit and receive data simultaneously. The result is compelling performance of up to 1, 600 MB / s read and 1, 300 MB / s write. Built with 3D NAND flash memory, the JetDrive 850 is reliable, highly compatible, and brings a new level of performance to Mac computers.

Using a 10 Gb / s Thunderbolt interface, the unit features ultrafast transfers. The JetDrive 855 is housed in a sleek aluminum alloy case designed to tastefully complement the simple and clean design of the Mac. Additionally, the interior of the SSD can be removed, making it even more adaptable to the preferences of the user.

Monitoring the status of SSD drives with the exclusive JetDrive toolbox

Transcend's JetDrive Toolbox is a free tool, which is nothing more than a custom software kit for Transcend's Apple solutions. JetDrive Toolbox helps users maintain a healthy SSD by keeping it up-to-date, preventing functional degradation and predicting problems before they occur. Easy to use, the toolbox includes converter information functions, status indicator and firmware update.

Transcend's JetDrive 855 and 850 come in 240GB and 480GB capacities, and are backed by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. At the moment, we don't know the prices of both.
