Product Description

Force Series GS Solid-State Drives: Speed for the real world.

Force Series GS solid-state drives are powered by a SandForce SF-2200 SSD Processor and fast Toggle NAND memory for both fast sequential read/write speeds and strong random write speed for impressive real-world performance.

Fast in a straight line. Fast in the curves, too.

Benchmarks are great, but your PC doesnt run on benchmarks. Force Series GS has the scores, and the real-world performance to back it up.

Some SSDs are strong performers with sequential read and write speeds, but bog down with random writes. Force Series GS is better. Its great at both.

Works even better with the latest systems.

Force Series GS supports SATA 3 6Gb/s, so youll get superior performance from newer notebook and desktop PCs that use the newest standard. Its also fully backward compatible with SATA 2.

Features

Superior Sequential Read and Write Speeds

The first key to real performance is sequential read and write speeds. Youll feel the speed when youre loading and saving large files. Solid-state drives store files in contiguous blocks of memory, so youll get nearly instantaneous response when you click that Load or Save button.

Excellent Random Write Performance

Fast random write speeds are also critical to performance youll notice on a daily basis. If youre running multiple applications at once, odds are that theyre writing small bits of data to the drive with regularity. The fast Toggle NAND memory gives Force Series GS the agility to handle them all without slowing down.

Maintains its Performance Over Time

Force Series GS solid-state drives support 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.

Solid-State Reliability

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.

Cool and Quiet, with Low Power Consumption

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. It can also save battery life on notebooks.
