Why Would You Want to Buy a New Intel® Solid-State Drive?

Main Point:

Solid-State drives today are kind of expensive compared to the alternative hard disc drive. So why would you want to buy an Intel® SSD? If money is no issue then stop reading and just buy it, otherwise let’s see how you could, justify the expense.

Problem:

Let me illustrate the problem with a real example.

I’m running again to the airport. No time to charge your laptop with the critical sales presentation. Four hours to go. Get comfortable in your seat and power up the laptop to review and make a few last minute changes. Okay perfect, it’s ready, I’m ready.

Arrive, and quickly setup my laptop presentation in front of 20+ very interested clients. Everything is going well, lots of good questions, enthusiasm and interest. I notice the laptop battery is at 5% and it looks like I need about 30 minutes. Where is the charger, oh it’s in the car.

Need to wrap it up in less than 10 minutes, rush the conclusion just before the laptop powers off. We get the big order but really wondered how I could extend the laptop battery more than the usual 2.5 hours.

Does this sound like you? Yes, read on.

You need to check out the new Intel® Solid-State Drive (SSD) to extend your laptop battery power and add even more zing in responsiveness performance to Windows applications simply by upgrading the rotating disc hard drive to a new Intel® X25-M Solid-State Drive with a compatible standard SATA interface and either 1.8 or 2.5 inch form factor drive.

Typical rotating hard drives use 8 watts compared to 0.15 watts of a new SSD. Doing the math for a Toshiba Satellite laptop with a standard 44W-hr battery rated at 2.5 hour tells me the laptop with rotating hard drive uses 17.6 watts. So with the new Intel® SSD it uses 9.75 watts. The charged battery will now last 4.5 hours instead of 2.5. Also with less needed charging cycles a potential for longer useful life.

Where’s the high performance zing? Well, Intel® SSD realizes its much higher user applications performance with typical 10X higher input/output operations per second (IOPS), 2X higher sustained read data rates and the nearly instant 0.000085 second data access latency time with its faster no moving parts solid-state design compared to 0.004 seconds or slower rotating hard disc drive mechanical latency using rotating magnetic data tracks with its head and electro-mechanical positioning system.

Conclusion:

Today, an Intel® SSD upgrade is ideal timing for a Windows XP or Vista to Windows 7 upgrade because of the perfect opportunity to change the drive to a new Intel® SSD and perform a clean install with the new Windows 7 operating system on the SSD, maximizing IT gain and enabling higher user productivity benefits for 2010 and beyond.
