MicroStation provides longer battery life and faster response time
27/05/2010
Buffalo Technology, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of storage and wireless networking solutions, announces the launch of the Buffalo MicroStation™ Internal SATA Solid State Disk Drives (SSD). This latest offering is designed for on-the-go individuals looking to upgrade their notebooks.
The MicroStation™ Internal SSD offers users improved system performance and increased reliability compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDD). With the same industry standard dimensions as a 2.5” HDD, IT managers looking for business upgrades, or early adopters, can now easily enjoy the benefits of SSD technology.
SSD storage is robust as it has no moving parts, making it silent and perfect for portable use with laptops. The lower power consumption ensures that mobile workers get the best from their battery life, whilst the device’s read/write speeds are faster than traditional HDD. This allows users to benefit from better performance, faster response times and quicker access to data.
Available with four capacities, and with a 64MB DRAM cache, the drive performance can reach 80MB/s read speeds for the 32GB model, and up to 240MB/s read and 190MB/s write speeds with the 256GB model. To further enhance the performance of the drive, the MicroStation™ Internal SSD also includes the Buffalo Tools suite of complimentary software, TurboPC and Turbo Copy, which help to increase file transfer and copy times.
Paul Hudson, Sales Director, Northern Europe, Buffalo Technology said: “As the trend for SSD storage begins to pick up, our latest offering allows customers to easily upgrade their laptops and increase its efficiency and reliability. The MicroStation Internal SSD is ideal for those on the move looking to get the most out of their laptops.”
