Super Talent recently has produced its new solid state drive called ultra drive. Solid state drives have several advantages over standard hard drives, they work at lower temperatures, faster access times, they're much more reliable as they don't don't have any moving parts, are tougher and silent. In addition they are also light weight, they don't use as much power. Unfortunately solid state drives have still some disadvantages over standard hard drives for example they have low capacity, they're much more expensive and the CPU usage are higher.

These are the results compared to standard hard drive and ultra drive:

Standard HD: Read access time: 6.8ms; Read CPU usage: 6.3%; read result: 178MB/s; write access time: 6.8ms; write result time: 171MB/s; Write CPU usage: 3.8%.

Super Talent Ultra drive 126GB SSD : Read access time: 0.1ms; Read CPU usage: 7.3%; read result: 199MB/s; write access time: 0.1ms; write result time: 182MB/s; Write CPU usage: 7.9%. So overall as you see the performance from this solid state drive is awesome. If you have the money and you not that much concerned over lower capacities I defiantly recommend with no doubt getting this ultra drive. I rate it 9/10- Great product. Price: you can buy Ultra drive ssd 128GB for about $299. Damian Gaslawski...signing off
