Why SSD?
To increase performance, hard disk drives (HDD) are often grouped together in redundant arrays of inexpensive disks (RAID) environments. The benefit of a solid state drive (SSD) in a RAID environment is speed. For example, two SSDs provide the same speed as six HDDs; so far fewer devices are required for a given level of performance.

In addition, because SSDs lack moving parts, they offer greater Green IT benefits -- using less power, generating less heat and making less noise. Plus, in dense RAID configurations, heat and vibration concerns are virtually eliminated by using SSD. And because SSDs emulate HDDs, they are typically drop-in replacements for HDD RAID configurations.

Overall, Imation SSDs powered by Mtron drastically reduce the total cost of ownership compared to HDDs and deliver faster boot times, data processing and data storage.
