Add to that a tough metal outer case, instant access speeds, large capacity, high reliability, low power consumption and anti-shock features, making it clear that Transcend's SSDs are the ideal drop-in replacements for conventional Hard Disk Drives.        Transcend's 2.5-inch SATA SSD series has a distinct advantage over standard 2.5" HDDs in that they are made of solid-state memory with no moving parts, and therefore not susceptible to mechanical failure resulting from vibration, shock, heat. Its modern SATA interface delivers higher data transfer rates than standard IDE and ensures compatibility with today's high performance notebook and desktop computers. SATA cables are much thinner and more compact than IDE cables, which allows for less cluttered installations with better cooling from improved airflow.Performance SSD eliminates all of the delays contributed by mechanics. By removing the mechanical seek, spin-up and rotational latency times, SSD increases overall performance. HDDs are limited by the singular read/write head and media channel which restrict the overall sequential. The many channels offered by a NAND SSD can be used in parallel to provide the necessary bandwidth to saturate the read and write bandwidth of the interface.ReliabilityExcessive shock is the major cause of failure in both PCs and consumer electronics products. Damage can occur to the heads, disk or even the spindle of the HDD, depending on the magnitude or duration of the shock. NAND-based SSDs are free from the effects of shock and vibration given the lack of moving parts, and are positioned to be the optimal solution for mobile devices. SSDs match the chip mounting and PCB manufacturing reliability of the rest of the system, and the SSD mean time between failure (MTBF) increases significantly over electromechanically based solutions.Power SavingsIn mobile devices, extended battery life is an important design goal. The 2 most power hungry devices on any mobile devise is the LCD Screen and the HDD. Over the past 10 years, laptop HDDs have reduced the “active” power usage, but are still limited to the baseline power needed to spin up disks and move the heads. In contrast, NAND-based SSDs expend most of their power for the reading or writing of data to/from the NAND or host interface only. The idle and sleep power is minimal. Also HDD take much time and energy starting and stopping while the SSD can power up and down virtually instantaneously while expending virtually no energy. Also SSDs save on overall CPU usage leading to faster and cooler pc operations. CostWhile the initial Cost of SSDs per GB is more than HDDs the advantages to ownership are far superior to conventional HDDs considering Data Security, Longevity, Speed, Reliability and Power Savings.           Warranty 2 Year Manufacturer Warranty + 30 day return policy Purchase Agreement Terms Payment:  We take immediate payment from Paypal.
