Solid State Flash Drives
Silent, Power Efficient, Solid-State Flash Storage
Centon Solid-State Drives with NAND flash memory, when compared to traditional mechanical hard drives, offer many advantages in several key areas:
- Reliability - no moving parts
- Efficiency - no motor running lead
- Silence - No mechanical vibration
- Faster Startup Times - No mechanical tracking lead
- Speed - Powerful flash management leads to faster performance
SSD Applications
SSDs will eventually replace standard mechanical HDDs in all sectors of this industry. From notebooks to desktop PCs, automotive to aviation industries, medical to information technologies, SSD will provide superior performance. With the improved development of NAND flash and the downward trend in costs, SSD drives also provide great value.
