Force Series GS Solid-State Drives: Speed for the real world. Force Series GS solid-state drives are powered by a Sand Force SF-2200 SSD Processor & fast Toggle NAND memory for both fast sequential read/write speeds & strong random write speed for impressive real-world performance. Fast in a straight line. Fast in the curves, too. Benchmarks are great, but your PC doesn’t run on benchmarks. Force Series GS has the scores, & the real-world performance to back it up. Some SSDs are strong performers with sequential read & write speeds, but bog down with random writes. Force Series GS is better. It’s great at both. Works even better with the latest systems. Force Series GS supports SATA 3 6 Gb/s, so you’ll get superior performance from newer notebook & desktop PCs that use the newest standard. It’s also fully backward compatible with SATA 2. Features Superior Sequential Read & Write Speeds
- The first key to real performance is sequential read & write speeds. You’ll feel the speed when you’re loading & saving large files. Solid-state drives store files in contiguous blocks of memory, so you’ll get nearly instantaneous response when you click that “ Load” or “ Save” button. Excellent Random Write Performance
- Fast random write speeds are also critical to performance you’ll notice on a daily basis. If you’re running multiple applications at once, odds are that they’re writing small bits of data to the drive with regularity. The fast Toggle NAND memory gives Force Series GS the agility to handle them all without slowing down. Maintains its Performance Over Time
- Force Series GS solid-state drives support the Windows 7 TRIM comm&. This allows them to store only the data they need & perform memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds. Solid-State Reliability
- Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock, vibration & temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, & essential for notebooks. Cool & Quiet, with Low Power Consumption
- Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power, & generates noise & heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, & the lower power consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC. It can also save battery life on notebooks.
