January 21, 2009: Kingston Technology has released the first two products in its SSDNow line of solid-state drives, a robust replacement for traditional notebook hard disk drives.
Designed to deliver increased performance through faster input and output operations per second (IOPS), the new drives use a standard SATA hard disk drive interface but unlike an HDD, they are very rugged and can withstand shock and extreme environments as there are no moving parts. Kingston's SSDNow E and M Series drives are equipped with S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) to monitor the integrity and reliability of the drives. The drives are backed by a three-year warranty and free tech support.
The new E-series drive is designed for the enterprise server environment and comes with a 32GB capacity for an RRP of $1199. The M-series drives are designed for 'road warriors' and are available with 80GB capacity at an RRP of $1079. For details, visit www.kingston.com/anz.
