The Official Specs And Technical Details.
Data-sheet:
This solid-state drive uses NAND Flash memory components and is not only faster but also more reliable and more durable than mechanical hard drives. The SSDNow E Series creates greater return on investment because of its impressive input and output operations per second (IOPS). Higher IOPS performance means you need significantly fewer SSDs compared to HDDs while saving energy in a server environment.
With no moving parts, Kingston's SSDNow generates less heat, no noise, faster boot times and faster application loads — all with lower power consumption than traditional hard drives. SSD uses a standard hard disk drive interface but unlike an HDD, SSD is very rugged and can handle more extreme environments because it's built with no moving parts.
Kingston's SSDNow E Series drives are equipped with S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) to tell the user when a drive is about to fail.
For added peace of mind, the drives are backed by 24/7 tech support, a three-year warranty, legendary Kingston® reliability and KingstonCare*, a comprehensive suite of tools and services designed to reduce downtime.
