Adding an SSD to a desktop already using a standard hard disk drive is
a smart and efficient way to upgrade. Transferring the operating system
and applications from the HDD to the SSD allows the SSD to be used as a
bootable drive that takes full advantage of the Flash-based technology.
The SSD and the HDD then co-exist to drive optimal performance in the
upgraded desktop.
For notebooks, SSDNow drives are a
perfect replacement for hard drives resulting in faster, more reliable
performance. Making this change will improve a notebook's efficiency in
a wide range of tasks, from booting up to running the most demanding
operating systems and applications.
SSDNow uses a standard SATA interface
but, unlike a regular HDD, SSD is very rugged and built with no moving
parts, making it ideal for users who push the limits of their
notebooks. Other benefits include reduced power usage, less noise and
less heat generation.
Kingston's SSDNow V Series offers
performance gains and power consumption reductions at a fraction of the
cost of a new system. For added peace of mind, they're backed by 24/7
tech support, a three-warranty and legendary Kingston reliability.
