Solid state is an electrical term that refers to electronic circuitry that is built entirely out of semiconductors. The term was originally used to define those electronics such as a transistor radio that used semiconductors rather than vacuum tubes in its construction,polo ralph lauren outlet. Most all electronics that we have today are built around semiconductors and chips. In terms of a SSD,lunettes chanel, it refers to the fact that the primary storage medium is through semiconductors rather than a magnetic media such as a hard drive,ray ban pas cher.
SSDs, or solid state drives,oakley golf, are becoming more and more popular in notebook computers. They are perfectly suited for ultraportable laptops because they consume less power than in spinning mechanical conventional hard disk drives,ray ban lunettes. The thin Apple Air or Lenovo Thinkpad notebooks, amongst others,carrera occhiali negozi, feature this solid state storage technology,polo ralph lauren.
How Do They Work,carrera lunettes?
Traditional hard drives have a spinning platter with a head that reads data from the platter. Remember all those hard drive crashes? This was primarily due to the vulnerability of the head being jarred by dropping or bumping into the computer and crashing into the platter causing mechanical and or read/write errors. SSDs have no moving parts,carrera lunettes. Instead they have Nand flash chips and a controller. They are simply flash drives on a large scale,oakley canada. SSDs are attractive when considering speed,carrera online, noise, power consumption, and reliability. They consume approximately half the power of traditional hard drives of the same size,longchamp le pliage outlet. For example a 2,oakley pas cher.5 inch Samsung SSD consumes less than 1 watt of power when active, as compared with 2.1 watts that a standard 2,puma chaussure de foot.5 inch HDD consumes,longchamp outlet.
Increased Performance,Solid State Drives,puma pas cher?
SSDs are noted for faster startups and shutdowns. They also have improved performance when applications are launched. Traditional hard drives get fragmented and slower over time unlike SSDs. Because of this non fragmentation SSDs have a real time improvement with random reads,chanel pas cher. Performance remains constant throughout the entire drive even when it starts to fill up.
Battery Life,lunettes de soleil carrera pas cher?
Many components in a notebook computer effect battery life. LCD Screens in particular do. The savings are about 10% prolonged battery life for An SSD vs a traditional hard drive. For most,lunette carrera, an SSD upgrade is not worth it for this feature alone. However when taken into account the other benefits of SSDs including: faster performance,achat ray ban pas cher, less noise,puma pas cher, less heat,lunette carrera, lighter weight, no fragmentation,oakley pas cher, and a longer life expectancy an extra $1000 upgrade may well be worth it,chaussures puma.
Which notebook brands have SSD options?
Apple, Lenovo,chaussures pas cher, Samsung,puma, Alienware,lunette oakley, Dell,sac chanel pas cher, Asus,lunette oakley, Sony, Motion Computer,ray ban pas cher, and HP are amongst the brands offering SSDs now,ray ban cats. SSDs are available in 64GB,chaussures puma, 128GB,carrera occhiali, and 256 GB models,Solid State Drives,longchamp borse.
The future for SSDs
At a component level,carrera sunglasses, manufacturers have been doubling the density every 10 years for these types of notebook drives,ray ban lunettes. This makes for larger storage capacity at smaller sizes,polo ralph lauren. Price varies per manufacturers. A 64GB SSD which costs about $900 now is expected to cost $450 in 2009 and $200 in 2010,sac chanel. Both SSDs and traditional hard drives will probably coexist for a while to come,polo ralph lauren outlet. Because SSDs do offer added value and benefits in several ways they are expected to grow to be in nearly 40% of the notebook laptops by 2011.
