OCZ solid state drives now available at BT Business Direct

Solid state drives (SSDs) from computer hardware manufacturer OCZ Technology are now available at BT Business Direct. The new Synapse Cache SSD, released late 2011, can add speed and higher performance to even older model PCs and so is gaining the most interest on a wide consumer market right now.

OCZ Technology releases new high-tech SSDs on regular bases, driving the innovation into every angle of SSD technology. This includes the new Synapse Cache series that enable any computer to enjoy the increased performance of SSD. This technology is independent from hardware, unlike others and can be used on any modern platform.

A standard SSD + HDD setup will make one program fast and the other slow, load one game quickly but the other lags off the scale. The OCZ Synapse cache SSD will integrate with the hard drive becoming one storage solution and dynamically manage the entire storage capacity of the hard drive. It is the typical example of ‘Best of Both World’; full capacity and full performance.

The Dataplex software makes the integration of SSD and HDD possible. The SSD stores‘hot’ data (files that are accessed often) on the high-speed SSD, while ‘cold’ data (files that are less-frequently accessed) are stored on the HDD. Once you have booted your PC with the OCZ Synapse SSD installed, it will start cache immediately. And after two or three reboots the fast responsiveness of the computer will start improving dramatically and the more it is used, the faster it will become.

Vivienne Kennedy, Category Manager of BT Business Direct said: “These SSDs are the ideal addition to any work or home PC and can help to improve running speeds and make accessing files a quick and easy job. We are very pleased to be able to stock them, but customers should buy now in order to avoid disappointment.”

Both the 64GB and 128GB versions of OCZ’s SSDs are available at BT Business direct now and retail at £87.49 and £134.16 respectively.

dabs.com Unveils New Range Of Samsung Hard Drives

Online electronics retailer dabs.com has announced that it is now stocking Samsung’s latest range of solid state hard drives, capable of transforming home and business PCs.

The Samsung 470 series Solid State Drives (SSDs) are capable of speeding up a huge range of computing tasks, from booting up to running applications and accessing data. Unlike older hard drives, SSDs do not have any moving parts which offers a number of benefits over traditional hard disc drives (HDD).

Raw speed is at the heart of these devices. Variants in the 470 series have sequential reading speeds of 250MB per second and sequential writing speeds of 220MB per second.

For users who multi-task on their computer, the SSDs are capable of providing uninterrupted access to data, allowing users to view images, listen to music and access large files all at the same time without experiencing a drop in performance. The 470 series drives allow users to work and play faster and smarter.

And anyone with a Samsung SSD won’t have to worry about making too much noise if they are working on the train or in a public space either. The devices emit virtually no noise or heat compared to traditional internal hard drives.

Duncan Rutherford, Product Manager at dabs.com said: “We are really excited to have begun stocking the Samsung 470 SSDs. It is a product that stands apart from the competition and is capable of delivering sustained performance and reliability.

“For individuals it adds a new dimension to their computing capability in terms of speed and performance, while business users will appreciate the long battery life and impressive reliability.”

From gamers and home users to office workers and students, Samsung’s range of solid state drives offer everyone the chance to give their PC a new lease of life.
