Faster system boot up
Improved battery life and system responsiveness
Increased shock resistance over HDD
Advanced wear levelling and error correction for reliable long-term performance
Available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB
The advantages of SSDs have been well documented: They use semi-conductor flash memory chips to store data so, unlike Hard Disk Drives, have no moving parts. This makes them more mechanically stable and far less prone to failure. Additionally they make no noise and use very little energy. The SATA II SSD is shock and vibration resistant making it more durable in harsher environments, and offers faster system performance than a standard hard drive.
Tracy Myers, Product Manager Flash for Verbatim Australia, sums up the advantages: “SSDs come with longer battery life, faster response, additional robustness and faster system boot up. The increased shock resistance make them the ideal storage replacement in portable computers whose original hard disk drives are prone to shocks.”
