The well-known Internet resource LAPTOP magazine presented the report, which confirms the fact that most people trust the solid SSD-drive. Users already know the advantage of SSD-drives: they use less electricity than conventional hard drives.

Tests were conducted on laptops Eee PC and Gateway T-6828, which showed that the device worked for 20 minutes longer than from one battery while using SSD-drives than those of conventional hard disks. But if honest, the results of this test can be considered a bit controversial. Solid SSD-drives are much better suited for use in mobile devices, they are not so much susceptible to shocks and shaking. To sum up, we can say only one thing: economically - is nice, but the main pluses SSD-drives - the speed at portable computing platforms and reliability of information storage.
