16GB Super Talent Solid-State 2.5" IDE Flash Drive Product Description:

This Super Talent Solid State Disk (SSD) drive is 100% compatible with the standard IDE interface for 2.5" (laptop-sized) hard drives, using both industry standard dimensions and a standard Parallel-ATA hard drive interface. 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.

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.
