EDITORS NOTE: Please read Solid State Drive (SSD) Benchmark Performance Testing to understand how the benchmarks used in this article should be interpreted.

Companies are faced with increasingly complex business environments that require processing higher capacity transactions more quickly. Investments are being made in the IT infrastructure to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing environment and take proactive roles in the marketplace. Even there have been remarkable developments in systems such as servers and storage networks, developers have reached limitations due to the fundamental problems associated with the hard disk. A new flash memory technology referred to as SSD (Solid State Drive) is now at the center of attention as the mans to provide the solution.

Mtron offers the Pro 7000 SSD as a high performance storage device designed to solve the bottleneck of computing system by traditional hard disk drives. The Pro 7000 SSD can be a drop-in replacement to hard disk drives without any additional software installation. Customers may benefit instantly from the SSD's high random access performance and solve the legacy problem of access time bottlenecks traditional to hard disk drives.

As a professional system builder of higher-end computer systems, I have learned some very important lessons in regards to system performance over the past eight years. While gamers constantly leap for higher frame rates out of their video card, there is something more important than a faster processor, memory, or front side bus. The real backbone to overall speed and performance is the system drive. In today's world, that means the hard disk drive for nearly all computers. After hundreds of performance computers built and sold, I have seen 10,000 RPM drives make a 2GHz CPU seemingly perform twice as fast, whereas a 5,400 RPM drive makes that same CPU run like it was only half as fast.

Solid State Drives are not for everyone. Similar to the evolution towards DDR3 system memory, a gradual replacement of the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) by the Solid State Drive (SDD) is going to move very slow. The cost of purchase for SSD's is the primary cause, since most drives cost more than an entire computer system. Other factors include the restricted bandwidth available to flash-based SSD's. But what if the price was within reach? What if the data throughput was comparable? This is where Benchmark Reviews comes in to answer the tough questions, as we test the Mtron Pro 7000 2.5-Inch 16GB SSD MSD-SATA7025.

Mtron utilizes the Serial ATA (SATA) interface for easy replacement of hard disk drives in both desktop and laptop computers with their Pro 7000 SSD. The Pro 7000 MSD-SATA7025 has an especially great advantage for notebook computers and ultra-Pro 7000le portable computers (UMPC) because it uses flash memory for less heat and noise, and has strong protection against outside environment.

According to the research by expert market analyst, Web-Feet, the current SSD market has grown 74% every year, and it is expected to total $10 billion by 2012. The consumer SSD market is also expected grow significantly from 42 million in 2006 to $7.5 billion in 2012, replacing current hard disk with SSD

Solid State Drives are data storage devices consisting of flash memory. This eliminates motors and mechanical drives included in conventional Hard Disk Drives to remove the heat and noise generation and provide resistance against external impact. Compared to a HDD with an identical capacity, the Mtron Pro 7000 SSD offers half the weight, and fractions of the response time. Moreover, Mtron Pro 7000 SSD's allows the user to easily install the SSD to replace an existing HDD without system modification. Solid State Disks are expected to expand applications from high-performance Pro 7000le PCs to replace conventional HDDs.

• A storage device that can immediately replace your HDD without any software installation
• Unlike an external disk, the Pro 7000 SSD is easily installed right into your PC or notebook computer for immediate access
• Using a high performance controller, Pro 7000 offers higher performance, stability and product lifetime compared to a USB drive or CF/SD card
