Imformation about Mtron Solid State Disks

I have been following the development of this type of disk for about 15 years.

They are finally ready for prime time and for the first time are available to the average consumer, if you have an above average computer consultant. The greatly enhanced reliability of these drives is due to the fact that there are ZERO moving parts. You heard that right, NO MOVING PARTS. You probably did not know that a standard hard drive will fail at about 10,000 feet. Not so good if you are a pilot and want to work on your laptop. The Mtron Solid State Disk wil not fail at altitudes or temperatures way beyond the normal operating range for a standard drive. But I digress.

Why do you want an SSD drive? Three reasons.

1. SPEED. Plain and simple. Programs and files open INSTANTLY.

2. RELIABILITY. The ability to take a shock and operate at altitudes and temperatures way higher than normal. Not affected by magnets.

3. LOWER POWER USAGE. Better for your laptop battery life, and better for the planet. The GREEN factor.

4. BONUS FEATURE. These drives are silent. Shhhhhh.
