Excellent speeds, Great value per GB

Impressive data throughput, Price versus performance is excellent,

Abstract: Shopping for an SSD means facing a sea of acronyms. The trickiest of them are jagged reefs sticking out of the water, shaped like circuit boards and ready to run your upgrade aground if you're not careful. "SSD," standing for "solid-state drive," is the o...

Abstract: Solid-state drives (SSDs) have come a long way in recent years: a long way up in speed and capacity, and a long way down in price. Technology that was previously reserved for enterprise customers and the PC performance elite has gained the common touch, w...
