Solid State Disk technology, which quickly makes all competing vendors issued their own versions. In addition, Intel has issued the latest version of their SSD. How is the performance offered by the SSD it? by Dimas Bimanto Galih windujati & A.
Various bids given by a Solid State Disk is very, very tempting. Though SSD technology is already long discovered, Intel made a surprise return to the re-release of an SSD that has the dimensions of the notebook hard disk (2.5 “). Of course SSD has an advantage in speed compared to the hard disk. One possible cause is the absence of SSD disk rotation causes a search of data requires a longer time. It also once again be a breakthrough for the world of data storage. Why? Because at that time also began ogled SSD as a data storage medium class.
After Intel shows how the performance of a SSD, many other vendors who are competing to make the other SSD-SSD with the same controller or different from that used by Intel. Types of memory used is still uses Single Level Cell type and Multi Level Cell, depending on the target the desired market share. Use of Single Level Cell (SLC) to make an SSD is much faster, but the price offered is also far more expensive. In contrast, Multi-Level Cell (MLC) makes a pretty fast SSDs with prices cheaper than SLC, although still far more expensive than a hard disk with same capacity.
Another advantage of an SSD is a light weight and shock resistant. Compared with a hard disk, SSD owned weights are much lighter, but not as fragile as the hard disk. Therefore, SSDs are also suitable for use in netbooks. Moreover, because SSD has no mechanical series, he is more robust to shocks so that when you hit the storage media hard enough, you can still run the data in it Another thing to note is the SSD has less power than hard disk 2.5 “in general. Because of that, reportedly a SSD can extend notebook battery life.
Any excess of the speed of SSDs start writing or reading (performance), light weight, low power consumption, and resilient to shocks will certainly attract every one. However, if the right offer? CHIP tempted to do some small tests involving several storage. CHIP uses two hard drives (Western Digital VelociRaptor and caviar Blue 160 GB) as a comparison a few SSDs have come to CHIP Test Lab. SSDs that come in between the latest Intel SSD X25-M G2 which has a 32 nm fabrication process, Adata S592, OCZ Vertex, and the last is Kingston SSDNow V Series. CHIP uses two types of platforms, ie on the desktop and notebooks and netbooks. This article is expected to be a reference if you want to upgrade existing storage on a desktop PC or notebook device or your netbook. Therefore, please read this article before you buy a Solid State Disk.
