If you feel that your notebook's hard drive is rather sluggish at times, and makes an irritating whirring noise, perhaps fitting it with a solid state drive will help ease your woes. Although notebooks do not yet come with solid state drives as a standard addition, technology is slowly inching the industry towards that direction. TDK's new 32GB solid state drive is the smallest device in its class, taking up roughly 80% of
space of a normal hard drive. Since it consumes less power to operate, this will prolong the life of the notebook's battery, offering greater performance. Solid state drives are also less prone to standard failure factors when compared to traditional hard drives. The TDK 32GB solid state drive is connected to a notebook via the SATA interface and boasts an average data transfer rate of 33.3MB/s.Pros : Fast transfer speeds, less prone to data crashes
Cons : Storage space still limited compared to hard drives, high Price per MB
