High-Performance, Low-Power Storage Device for Mobile PCs is Light, Rugged and Reliable
Bigboy Technologies Solid-State Disk (SSD) is an advanced Samsung NAND flash-based replacement for traditional hard disk drives. This next-generation solution offers several advantages over rotating magnetic media such as significantly lower power consumption, remarkable ruggedness, high reliability, less weight and outstanding performance. |
| |
| The SSD system includes NAND flash memory, controller, connectors and other elements on a printed circuit board and can fully replace hard drives in notebook, sub-notebook and tablet PCs. Its weight is approximately half that of a conventional hard drive, thus further increasing easy system portability. The device also uses less power — about .5W in operational mode and less than 0.01W in standby mode. In a typical use scenario combining read/write, seek and standby, the SSD requires roughly one-tenth the power of a hard drive. This gives users more than 30 minutes of additional use before a battery charge is needed. |

Excellent Read/Write and Boot-up Performance
The performance of Bigboy Technologies SSD exceeds that of a similarly sized hard drive by more than 150%. For example, it can read data at a rate of 57MB per second and achieves write speeds of 32MB per second, which is more than twice as fast as comparable hard disk drives. Its speed lets PC users cut boot-up time in half when compared to a conventional 1.8-inch hard drive. As a non-volatile storage device, the SSD has no moving parts such as the motor, disks and heads of a hard drive. Thus it eliminates spin-up time, seek time and rotational latency while delivering sustained high-speed data transfers. The SSD is also extremely friendly to its surroundings. Its lack of moving parts makes it noise free and its ultra-low power consumption virtually eliminates heat emissions.
The SSD is also highly rugged, standing up to shock and vibration damage while performing in extreme temperatures from -25 to 85 degrees Celsius. These performance features make it well suited to a broad range of environments, including those in the demanding military and industrial areas. |
