Force Series GS Solid-State Drives: Speed for the real world.
Force Series GS solid-state drives are powered by a SandForce SF-2200
SSD Processor and fast Toggle NAND memory for both fast sequential
read/write speeds and strong random write speed for impressive
real-world performance.
Fast in a straight line. Fast in the curves, too.
Many SSDs achieve quick load
times with files that can be compressed and decompressed at the
read/write stage, but slow down significantly reading data that's
already compressed. Neutron goes one better by offering impressive
performance even with compressed and non-compressible data.
Works even better with the latest systems
Force Series GS supports SATA 3 6Gb/s, so you’ll
get superior performance from newer notebook and desktop PCs that use
the newest standard. It’s also fully backward compatible with SATA 2.
Superior sequential read and write speeds
The first key to real
performance is sequential read and write speeds. You’ll feel the
speed when you’re loading and saving large files. Solid-state drives
store files in contiguous blocks of memory, so you’ll get nearly
instantaneous response when you click that “Load” or “Save” button.
Excellent random write performance
Fast random write speeds are also critical to
performance you’ll notice on a daily basis. If you’re running multiple
applications at once, odds are that they’re writing small bits of data
to the drive with regularity. The fast Toggle NAND memory gives Force
Series GS the agility to handle them all without slowing down.
Maintains its performance over time
Force Series GS solid-state drives support the Windows 7 TRIM
command. This allows them to store only the data they need and perform
memory optimization to ensure the fastest possible write speeds.
Solid-State reliability
Because SSDs have no moving
parts, they can handle shock, vibration and temperature changes far in
excess of traditional hard drives. That's important for desktop PCs, and
essential for notebooks.
Cool and quiet, with low power consumption
Traditional mechanical hard
drives spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. This takes power,
and generates noise and heat. Since SSDs have no moving parts, there's
no noise or vibration, and the lower power consumption helps keep things
cool inside your PC. It can also save battery life on notebooks.
