INTRODUCTION

SSD's are an important evolution in the computer hardware field, offering greater reliability, no moving parts and higher transfer speeds. The hold back on SSD's has been price, with an unfavorable price per gigabyte ratio they have been slow in gaining mainstream acceptance.

Many laptops heading out the factory door don't have very good hard drives in them, sure they work but the performance we've seen on them is fairly low. Much to our horror we saw 30MB/s on the Toshiba Satellite we use around the lab. Right out of the factory spanking new they tossed a Hitachi Deskstar 120GB HD that averages 30MB/s in a decent laptop with 4GB of ram and a T5300 Intel Dual Core processor.

So how do we eliminate that bottleneck and still keep months of data and work intact without having to reinstall the OS, move mounds of data, reinstall the programs to use the data. A task that has taken a couple of days in the past now a simple easy to use kit offers to alleviate all that headache. Count us in we've got to see this.

Laptop Hard Drive Upgrade in a box, designed for the average computer user and not the $100 an hour tech at the local computer shop. Kingston has definatly gone the extra mile with this one.
