SSD's or Solid State Drives are hard drives based on semiconductor memory, which means that they have no moving parts and therefore rugged, are very fast, and consume low power, thus generating less heat. Of course, this has been coming at a very high premium until now. Kingston has launched its SSDNow UV100 in its attempt to bring high performance SSD storage at a reasonable price.
The SSDNow UV100 comes in 60 GB and 120 GB capacity variants and has the 2.5" form factor, making it ideal to use even in laptops. It sports SATA 3.0 (6 GB/s) interface with backward compatibility with SATA 2.0 (3 GB/s). True to SSD standards, it boasts of read and write speeds of up to a blistering 425 MB/s. The idle power consumption stays down at 0.08 W, while it averages at just 0.108 W, which means your laptop battery will last a lot longer.
