SSDs Help Boost your Rig's Performance

If your computer takes a long time to boot up, that's likely because it runs on a mechanical hard drive. This is also the case of most of older computers. A 5-year-old computer with an SSD boots much faster than even a brand new rig running on a mechanical hard drive. Replacing that hard drive with an SSD will be the most satisfying upgrade, and it will boost your rig's performance so significantly that you'll ask yourself why you didn't do it sooner.

The first Flash-based solid state disk (SSD) made an appearance in the 1990s and it was quickly improved upon to a point where it is now substantially faster, can store significantly more, and is considerably more stable than its mechanical HDD counterparts. The majority of these advantages result from the fact that SSDs don’t employ any moving part in their architecture. In contrast to mechanical hard drives that use drive motors to help spin up the magnetic platters as well as the drive heads, flash memory chips are the ones responsible for all the storage on a solid state drive. This feature offers faster data access, lower power requirements, and high reliability. That is to say, SSDs transforms the pace of productivity.

Transcend Information, a leading manufacturer of storage and multimedia products, has devoted itself to developing a full line of high-performance, energy-efficient, and highly reliable SSDs for storage applications. For enthusiasts and gamers, mainstream to professional users, Transcend SSDs are the great upgrade to current systems and you can easily choose the right drive based on your expected usage.
