Transcend launched its JetDrive SSD Upgrade Kits aimed at MacBook computers. The JetDrive Upgrade Kits include an easy-to-use drive enclosure for converting the original SSD or HDD into a new USB 3.0 portable storage device.

Built on the SATA III 6Gb/s interface, the SSDs achieve transfer speeds of up to 560MB/s and are available in capacities of up to 960GB.

The JetDrive SSDs come bundled with all the tools necessary to facilitate the upgrade process and a USB 3.0 external drive enclosure. In a few simple steps, the original, factory-installed SSD or HDD can be transformed into a new USB 3.0 external storage device to store and backup documents, photos, music, and movies.

JetDrive Toolbox uses S.M.A.R.T. technology to analyze the health status of the Transcend JetDrive SSD and includes a tool for enabling TRIM, which helps to maintain optimum write speeds and prevent long-term SSD wear.

Transcend’s JetDrive SSD Upgrade Kits consist of four SSD models and are backed by Transcend’s five-year limited warranty.
