Adding an SSD to a desktop already using a standard hard disk drive is a smart and efficient way to upgrade. Transferring the operating system and applications from the HDD to the SSD allows the SSD to be used as a bootable drive that takes full advantage of the Flash-based technology. The SSD and the HDD then co-exist to drive optimal performance in the upgraded desktop
For notebooks, SSDNow drives are a perfect replacement for hard drives resulting in faster, more reliable performance. Making this change will improve a notebook’s efficiency in a wide range of tasks, from booting up to running the most robust operating system and demanding applications.
SSDNow uses a standard SATA interface but, unlike a regular HDD, SSD is very rugged and built with no moving parts, making it ideal for power users and road warriors who push the limits of their notebooks. Other benefits include reduced power usage, less noise and less heat generation.
Kingston’s SSDNow V+ offers performance gains and power consumption reductions at a fraction of the cost of a new system. For added peace of mind, they’re backed by 24/7 tech support, a three-year warranty and legendary Kingston reliability.
Features:
Innovative Uses MLC NAND flash memory components.
Silent Runs silent and cool with no moving mechanical parts.
Shock Proof No moving mechanical parts so the SSD handles rougher conditions.
Supports S.M.A.R.T. Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology tells the user when a drive is about to fail
Guaranteed 3 year legendary Kingston warranty, 24/7 tech support

Sometimes, a mistake pops up in even the most stringent quality control environments. Go to http://tiger.tv/more_info/?737 to take advantage! Sometimes it causes a nuclear shutdown across several states. Other times (like this one!) you get a bunch of high-quality PNY flash drives that are badged as 512MB capacity but can really hold a whole gigabyte of storage data! This is bad for PNY, because it’s hard to sell typo drives. This is good for you because you get a full gigabyte of solid state storage for extremely cheap! Order yours today, because you’d better believe they’re not going to make the same mistake twice!

Digital storage hasn’t been the same since Flash Memory technology hit the market. This solid-state storage medium is fast, efficient, and most importantly, relatively cheap! Which makes understanding this revolutionary new hardware an imperative in today’s PC universe. That’s why we’ve put together an introductory taste of all things Flash: from USB memory drives to flash cards the size of your thumbnail! All to help you navigate the world of ultra-portable storage. Watch, Learn, and Enjoy!
Patriot Warp Series V2 Solid State Drives (SSD) is the latest in storage technology. Using the state-of-the-art NAND flash chips and ultra-fast controllers, the Warp SSD Drive is available from 32 GB to 128 GB capacity delivering a blazing transfer speed up to 175MB/s read and 100 MB/s write. Compare to conventional hard disk drives, built with 100% moving-free parts and housed in a vibration and shock resistance housing, the Warp SSD Drives provide a rock solid operating environment even during extreme working conditions, a perfect solution for a wide range of applications that require ruggedness, minimal power consumption, cooler temperature and silent operations. With reliability in mind, the Warp SSD Drives has 1.5 million hour mean time before failure (MTBF) and built in wear leveling technology in addition to the standard 2 year warranty. Wear leveling is a proprietory technology to maximize the life span of the Drive and preserve your data integrity by automatic mark and block bad data cells.

Corsair solid state disk drives set a new standard for reliability in desktop and notebook storage solutions. Corsair solid state disk drives utilize specially selected ICs to enable a life expectancy of over 100 years and impact resistance up to 1500Gs. Unlike traditional mechanical hard disk drives, Corsair solid state disk drives have no moving parts. This results in faster system responsiveness, quieter operation and reduced overall system temperatures.
Gordon Moore, Co-founder and Chairman Emeritus of Intel, shares his thoughts about the evolution of Flash Memory and Intels role in creating a new generation of Flash Memory storage.
