480GB Boost Pro Slim 2.5" SSD
EDGE™ Boost Pro Slim Solid State Drives (SSDs) are designed to be a direct replacement for traditional spinning disk hard drives. The result is a faster, lighter, more durable, and more reliable solution primed to replace outdated hard drives. Boost Pro Slim SSDs are both PC and Mac compatible and will work in almost any computer or server with a SATA interface. The thin 7mm height is ideal for installation in Ultrabooks and small form factor notebooks. EDGE offers various notebook, desktop, and server upgrade kits designed to make the transition to SSDs a smooth and easy operation.
The Boost Pro Slim SSD achieves ultra fast read and write speeds. In comparison to hard drives, SSDs can decrease system boot times up to 5x.* Fast read/write speeds, coupled with a lofty max IOPS rating, provide fantastic performance gains in boot times, file access, and software application loading.
A traditional hard drive can be compared to a car - with so many moving mechanical components constantly in use, parts inevitably wear out over time. With no moving parts inside, Boost SSDs are more reliable and less susceptible to mechanical failures than hard drives. This also results in longer notebook battery life, lower heat emission, and completely silent operation.
Security is a critical feature of the Boost Pro Slim SSD, featuring AES hardware encryption that secures 100% of data when enabled.** The feature-rich SandForce controller comes standard with robust tools such as S.M.A.R.T., Garbage Collection, wear leveling, and ECC to promote stability and reliability. SandForce -exclusive functions - Durawrite and RAISE - further enhance data efficiency and increase the lifespan of the SSD.
