Add Intel Solid-State Drives to your server or workstation for performance, reliability and power savings!
Demanding applications require hardware that will provide performance and reliability. Your CFO demands that it must be cost effective. Intel’s Solid State Drives offer a balance of all three.
A solid state drive is unique because it has no moving parts. This design offers significant advantages that can benefit your applications and decrease your TCO:
 |
- Since there are no moving parts, these disks offer significant read improvements over traditional hard drives. Imagine reads as fast as 75 microseconds, instead of the usual milliseconds.
- Being solid state, SSD's are naturally more reliable and shock resistant than regular hard drives. Better reliability means a longer life expectancy for the drive and increased uptime.
- The lack of spinning platters ensures that the solid state drive remains cool and requires less power than traditional drives. This translates into a huge power savings over the life of the drive.
