New 2,5’’ SSD with SATA II interface from Verbatim

Boost your Computer Performance – The Ideal HDD Storage Alternative
London, 25th May 2011 –Verbatim’s new range of 2,5’’ SATA II SSDs (Solid State Drive) are an  ideal hard drive replacement storage solution for notebook and desktop PCs. They provide extraordinary data transfer rates up to 250MB/sec READ and 220MB/sec WRITE speed, faster system boot up, improved system responsiveness and battery life as well as increased shock resistance over HDD equipped systems. The SATA II SSDs include a 3.5’’ bay adapter and a power cable for optional desktop installations.  Available now, they can be purchased from specialised shops and Value Added Ressellers (VARs) for 129€ (64GB), 238€ (128GB) or 470€ (256GB) respectively (RRP).

 

Up to 250MB per second readspeed and 220MB per second writespeed
• Faster system boot up
• Improved battery life and system responsiveness
• Increased shock resistance over HDD
• Advanced wear levelling and error correction for reliable long-term performance
• Available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB

The advantages of SSDs have been well documented: They use semi-conductor flash memory chips to store data so, unlike Hard Disk Drives, have no moving parts. This makes them more mechanically stable and far less prone to failure. Additionally they make no noise and use very little energy. The SATA II SSD is shock and vibration resistant making it more durable in harsher environments, and offers faster system performance than a standard hard drive.
Hans-Christoph Kaiser, Business Development Manager Flash for Verbatim EUMEA, sums up the advantages: “SSDs come with longer battery life, faster response, additional robustness and faster system boot up. The increased shock resistance make them the ideal storage replacement in portable computers whose original hard disk drives are prone to shocks.”

Retail version available in Q4
In addition to the VAR product line there will be a product for retail in Q4 as well. This is planned with additional features like ghosting software and a data transfer cable.
