Benefits of Solid State Disks
Since SSDs are flash memory, each sector is
instant accessible at <1ms! The MTRON drives featured on this site boast
an access time of .1ms. That is 84X faster than a 74GB 10,000 RPM Raptor
Hard Disk. The MTRONs also read at a sustained 100MB/s! Since there are
no moving parts, SSDs are super-rugged. You can drop your laptop, or
operate your tablet in the field with no fear of damaging your data.
Pilots can install and SSD in an aviation laptop with no altitude
limitations (hard disks will fail above 10,000 feet). SSDs operate in
absolute silence, so they are great for home theater applications. SSDs
outlast hard disks by a factor of at least 3 to 1. 1,000,000 to 5,000,000
hour MTBF (time between failures) rating mean your computer will become
obsolete before the SSD fails. Forget what you think you know about write
cycles too. MTRON SSDs will last >140 YEARS if you write 50GB per day to
them. Standard temperature SSDs operate in a wider temperature
environment than hard disks can (0 to 70C) while industrial (wide temp)
models operate from -40C to 85C (-40F to 185F). SSDs run cooler and
consume a FRACTION of the power of a hard disk, making SSDs ideal for
everyone, from portable use, to energy-conscious desktop use, to massive
server farms.
