Benefits:
Businesses today are under pressure to conserve revenue and go green. Ridata SSD drives help solve both these challenges. Durable Ridata Solid State Drives have no moving parts, which allow them to be virtually silent, run cooler, and use less power than a traditional hard disk drive. They are better equipped to survive in harsh environments and also offer strong shock tolerance. Most computer veterans have experienced hard drive failure and the hours of work involved in restoring data. SSD offers a solution that may replace mechanical hard drives as the storage medium of choice.

Performance:
The Ridata 2.5” Turbo SATA SSD drive is a solid-state flash disk, based on NAND flash technology. Using single-level-chip technology, the Ridata SSD drive provides consistent performance and has lower-power consumption than hard disk drives so mobile user time is dramatically extended. Meeting bus interface industry standard Serial ATA (SATA) ensures there are no host compatibility or upgrading issues. The Ridata drive offers reliable temperature (0 to 70C) and humidity resistance, assuring long-lasting data storage.
