Solid state drives provide substantial benefits over traditional hard drives, and OCZ makes it easy to see why! Whether you're refreshing an old laptop or trying to maximize the potential of the latest desktop, SSDs are the ultimate way to "feel" the difference in your everyday computing performance!
SSDs are More Durable
Solid State Drives feature a non-mechanical design of NAND flash mounted on circuit boards, and are shock resistant up to 1500g/0.5ms. Hard Drives consist of various moving parts making them susceptible to shock and damage.
SSDs are Faster
SSDs can have 100 times greater performance, almost instantaneous data access, quicker boot ups, faster file transfers, and an overall snappier computing experience than hard drives. HDDs can only access the data faster the closer it is from the read write heads, while all parts of the SSD can be accessed at once.
SSDs Consume Less Power
SSDs use significantly less power at peak load than hard drives, less than 2W vs. 6W for an HDD. Their energy efficiency can deliver longerbattery life in notebooks, less power strain on system, and a cooler computing environment.
SSDs are Lighter
Flash-based SSDs weigh considerably less than hard drives – only 77g vs. 752.5g for HDDs. SSDs won't weigh down your notebook when you're on the go or your desktop when rearranging your office!
SSDs are Cost-Efficient
Though still a higher price/gigabyte than hard drives, SSDs offer cost savings in the long run for businesses with lower energy usage and greater productivity with higher Input/outputs Operations per Second (IOPS). One SSD delivers the performance of 100 hard drives.
SSDs are Cooler
As an energy-efficient storage upgrade for your desktop or laptop,SSDs require very little power to operate that translates into significantly less heat output by your system.
