Great as an upgrade for your laptop, OCZ's 100GB Vertex 2 SATA II 2.5"
Solid State Drive is an internal solid-state storage drive that delivers 100GB
of memory, superior performance, and reliability. Although this drive is sized
for your laptop, the 3.5" adapter allows you to upgrade your desktop as well.
Whether you're upgrading either kind of computer, you will be able to load
games, programs, large video or audio files, or your operating system much more
quickly than if you're using a traditional hard disk drive. The drive features
maximum read speeds of up to 285 MB/s, maximum write speeds of up to 275 MB/s,
and sustained write speeds of 250 MB/s. It has also clocked 4K file writes up to
50,000 IOPS.
So as to perform this quickly, the drive utilizes solid state MLC NAND
flash components, an SATA 3 Gbps bus interface, and MAX IOPS Firmware. Beyond
speed, it also features native TRIM support so your drive will perform over the
long haul and RAID support so that you can combine it with other drives for even
faster throughput and greater, more secure memory. Along with these features,
this drive boasts the same advantages of other solid state drives in that it
uses solid-state technologies to perform with less energy, noise, and required
power than traditional hard disk drives. It also is shock resistant so you most
likely won't need to worry about your drive if you accidentally drop your
computer, unlike traditional hard disk drives. Whether you're upgrading a
traditional hard disk drive or older solid state drive, OCZ's 100GB Vertex 2
SATA II 2.5" Solid State Drive is sure to feel like more than just a breath of
