Let us tell you a bit about the new technology thats changing the face of storage. Solid State Disk – whats that mean then? A solid state disk is a device that from the outside behaves a lot like any other hard disk. On the inside, however, SSDs are quite different. Regular hard disks rely on spinning magnetic platters, whereas SSDs use the latest flash memory chips as storage... without a single moving part. What makes an SSD better? There are three main advantages that SSDs bring over traditional hard disks. SSDs have no moving parts. This means theyre not susceptible to same mechanical failures as hard disks. A knock to an SSD will do it no damage. With no platters to spin, SSDs can use less power than a hard disk, which is great news for laptops & netbooks & also means desktop PCs can be made more efficient. The biggest benefit is performance. No longer bound by the time it takes to move mechanical parts, SSDs deliver a big leap in read & write speeds. That equates to faster boot times, quicker program launches & less time spent waiting for your desktop / notebook to “think about” doing something. How does a Desktop / Notebook use an SSD? An SSD drive has a SATA connection just like most modern hard disks. Plugging it in the same way as you would a hard disk will make it appear to the computer as a storage device. Its then ready to use – simple as that! How four user groups can really reap the benefits of SSD technology? 1. Travellers & business users Notebooks, especially smaller models & netbooks tend to have lower performance. Replacing the hard disk with an SSD can help speed things along whilst also extending battery life. Better still, the lack of moving parts in an SSD means it can take a few bumps & knocks with no ill effects. 2. Home user If you spend more time waiting for things to load than you do actually using them, the performance boost of an SSD drive could be just what you need to get more out of your PC. 3. Gamer With enormous levels & more graphical detail than real life, theres a lot of data to fetch when loading games. An SSD will help you spend less time loading maps & more time laying down your awesome skills. 4. Photographer If you combine an SSD & a hard disk, you can use the SSD for the operating system, applications & as your image editing softwares scratch or working area, while the hard disk can be used to store your original & edited photos. With the SSD handling all the intensive stuff, the editing process will be so much quicker. Arent there other ways to speed things up? Yes, there are, but if you want the benefits described above, there are few ways that compare to an SSD. Intsalling an SSD is THE single most cost effective upgrade you can do for your PC or laptop
