Description

They deliver outstanding SATA 3 6Gb/s performance, with prices that are comparable to lower-performance SATA 2 3Gb/s solid-state drives. Force Series 3 SSDs feature support for 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. 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. 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. The 2.5 form factor allows for installation in most notebook PCs with no adapter required. If you\'re adding a Force Series 3 SSD to your desktop PC, use the included 3.5 adapter to mount it in any standard hard drive bay.
