OCZ Mini PCI-Express SSD (PATA)
Mini PCI-E / Internal notebook storage / PATA interface
OCZ Mini PCI-Express Solid State Drives are the affordable flash-based storage option to significantly increase the capacity for the latest generation of netbooks. For enthusiasts, professionals, and students looking for an ideal storage upgrade on their ultra-portable laptop, the OCZ Mini PCI-E SSD is the quieter, cooler, more durable alternative to traditional notebook hard drives.
Offering your notebook the benefits of flash-based technology, this solution delivers the reliability and silent operation of SSDs in a smaller form factor. Ideal for energy-efficient mobile computing to extend battery life by lowering power consumption, improving access time, and providing an alternative to conventional hard disc drives, the OCZ mini PCI-E drive offers not only superior shock resistance but also quiet operation whether at home or on-the-go.
Important SSD notes:
Solid State Drives DO NOT require defragmentation. It may decrease the lifespan of the drive.
Consumers may see a discrepancy between reported capacity and actual capacity; the storage industry standard is to display capacity in decimal. However, the operating system usually calculates capacity in binary format, causing traditional HDD and SSD to show a lower capacity in Windows. In the case of SSDs, some of the capacity is reserved for formatting and redundancy for wear leveling. These reserved areas on an SSD may occupy up to 5% of the drive’s storage capacity. In OCZ’s Indilinx-based SSDs, the naming convention reflects this and the 30 is equivalent to the 32GB, the 60 is equivalent to 64GB, and so on.
