15GB 2.5" SATA II Solid State Drive - MLC

Features:

Uses Multi Layer Cell (MLC) technology
Super low power consumption
Rugged: can withstand average shock of 1,500Gs
No moving parts
Low heat production (operates cooler than standard hard drive)
100% Compatible with 2.5" SATA II interface

Description:

This Solid State Disk (SSD) drive is 100% compatible with the standard SATA II interface for 2.5" hard drives, using both industry standard dimensions and a standard Serial-ATA hard drive interface. It provides blistering read speeds of 120MB/sec and write speeds of 40MB/sec. This drive implements flash management techniques that contribute to unprecedented vibration and shock tolerance.

These SSD drives are based on solid state NAND Flash components; They have no moving parts which gives them far greater reliability than conventional hard drives, with excellent resistance to shock and vibration. These characteristics make SSD drives ideal for extreme computing environments where reliability is paramount.

Perhaps their most attractive quality, solid-state drives feature exceptionally low power consumption. They require approximately 85% less power and produce far less heat than standard hard drives with rotating magnetic parts. This lower power consumption translates to longer battery life for your mobile computing, but also means far less heat production; a critical attribute for extending the life of your laptop components.
