Mtron Solid State Disk: One of the fastest hard disks in the world

What is Mtron SSD?

Mtron SSD is a unique data storage device that uses solid state memory to store data. This means there are no mechanical parts used in the device. It's ideal for portable use, desktop use and massive server farms.

Why is Mtron SSD unique?

Fast: Lack of mechanical parts makes the Mtron SSD incredibly fast. Each sector is accessible in less than 0,1 ms. Compare it with a regular hard disk, for example the 74GB 10,000 rpm Western Digital Raptor X Hard Disk, which has an access time of 8,1 ms. The Mtron SSD is 81 times faster. This also results in boot time and application launch time at lightning speed.

Silent: The Mtron SSD is completely silent.

Cool: The Mtron SSD produces minimal heat.

Energy-friendly: The Mtron SSD consumes only a fraction of the power of regular mechanical hard disks.

How reliable is the Mtron SSD?

The Mtron SSD is extremely reliable. It will last more than 140 years if you write 50 GB per day to it.

Lack of mechanical parts results in less wear and tear. This gives the Mtron SSD a better mechanical reliability than regular mechanical hard disks. Also, in comparison to regular mechanical hard disks, the Mtron SSD is much more capable of enduring shocks, high altitude, vibration and extreme temperatures, which apply to laptops and other mobile devices, or when transported.

Mtron SSD can resist from 1000 to 1500 G's of operating shock. It operates from 0°C to 70°C, which is a wider temperature environment than standard hard disks. There are no altitude limits. Normal hard disks will fail above 3000 meter. Pilots can use the Mtron in their laptops.

• Superior performance to others on various benchmark tests

Why SSD

Solid State Drive (SSD) is a storage device made of semiconductor memories. In particular, SSD consists of several array of flash memories rather than magnetic disk.

Flash memory SSD has benefits of fast access time, data stability and low power consumption comparing to conventional hard disk drives (HDD), which seems to reach its limits in performance due to the mechanical structure

• System performance is dragged down to disk I/O speed due to its slow access time
• SSD provides the solution for the bottleneck problem
• SSD helps CPU and DRAM memory work efficiently so it improves the overall system performance of computing device.

HDD

• Complicated structure with mechanical parts
• Vulnerable to vibration and shock
• Difficult to recover data when damaged

SSD

• Advanced structure with semi-conductors
• Extensive lifetime and high durability
• Data reliability highly guaranteed

Mtron SSD extends battery life due to 50% less power consumption than HDD

• Periodical replacement of HDD causes high maintenance costs
• SSD remarkably lasts longer than HDD by adopting efficient wear-leveling algorithm
• TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) can be reduced by SSD
