Solid State Drives (19)

b2ap3_thumbnail_iStock_000016084473XSmall.jpgNew technologies forge ahead and slowly but steadily capture the global market. Along with that, choosing a hard drive for your computer becomes even harder endeavor. Every customer already has a dozen options to choose form and each option is attractive in its own way. If you don’t want to miss a good opportunity of choosing the most suitable and productive device, then you should at least follow and study the latest news from this industry.

There is no doubt that you can use same equipment year after year and don’t strive for excellence, although by following that paradigm your computer would hopelessly lag behind and will not be able to perform its functions properly. It is important to pay attention to all technological novelties and stay updated, like following comprehensive insurance news in order to get your car successfully insured and know the subject matter.

Ordinary hard drives are still leading in terms of mass consumption. Experts say that they won’t be out of the global market at least for another decade. However, new hard drives also enjoy growing popularity. And I am talking about so-called solid-state disks.
This disks work on the basis of flash memory and allow to increase productivity and capacity by several times.

In the performance of the study, which possesses essential results for all banks, firms and security companies, the scientists found that files being held on solid-state drives are sometimes impossible to delete by conventional methods of data deletion.

According to the study, the results of which were presented this week at the Usenix FAST 11 conference in California, even if the data storage devices of new generation show that files have been deleted, 75% of the data may still remain on flash memory drives. In some cases, SSDs indicate incorrectly that files were "securely deleted", despite the fact that the duplicated files remain in reserve storage.

Install Windows on the SSD

In most cases the best solution turns out to fresh install Windows 7 on SSD. In contrast to the transfer system previously installed on another drive to get rid of the unnecessary burden this way, and optimally configure a new copy of Windows. In addition, you ensure maximum stability of operation, viability, and disk performance. Operating systems that work optimally with the SSD, the MacOS X, Linux (kernel 6.2.33 or later) and Windows 7. These only support the Trim command, which ensures consistently high performance data storage through automated purification of memory. If you still prefer to stick with your Vista or Windows XP, you must manually clear the memory using tools such as Secure Erase. A former hard drive - if you have one - will serve you from now to store data resources.

SSD drives - the optimal configuration and use

Your PC is equipped with a fast processor and a considerable amount of RAM, and even though Windows starts up too slowly. Probably the brakes hard drive the whole system, because the conventional technology used in hard drives so far just do not keep up with the other components of modern computers. Although the capacity of current drives crossed the border three terabytes, but in terms of transmission speed and access times could not be the last time to make great progress.

SSD (Solid State Disk) appear to be in the situation much better alternative. With this type of disk PC can get up to four times higher performance than with a regular hard drive. The following article explains why this is and what opportunities speed up your computer provide SSDs.

SSD in a laptop. Is it worth it?

In the world of disk drives, SSDs currently occupy a strong and constantly reinforcing the position, mainly because more and more refined technology and the recent floods in Thailand, which effectively drives prices became even manufacturers such as Seagate or WD by 200-300% in the native traders. You even have the stock, preferred to "prophylactically" to raise prices to a level to check for outages and shortages in supply, though more probably spoke for the pure desire for profit, as in USA or Canada for this is that to raise prices no matter what due to rally everyone, but to reduce their already difficult to find takers. And so the situation is therefore as follows: conventional hard drives are at higher than before the fourth quarter of 2011 prices (and will likely grow again), and SSD drives in their context have become with her, still pretty large, in many cases, more attractive prices than ever. After all, if you need additional GB is a man rad rad does not have to buy something. So think of the expense is worth $ 280 - $ 400 for a good SSD drive into the laptop and whether the game at all is worth the candle - to answer this question this article.
