MIAMI -- Jul. 24, 2007 Alienware(R) - the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook and professional systems - is ensuring mobile customers enjoy faster performance and enhanced reliability by now offering solid state drives (SSD) that utilize flash memory on their popular Area-51(R) m9750, Aurora(TM) m9700 and Area-51 m5550 notebooks. In addition to single drive configurations, the Area-51 m9750 and Aurora m9700 are first to market with a 64GB RAID 0 dual SSD configuration, while also offering dual drive options that combine a 32GB SSD and a 200GB 7,200 RPM storage drive.
"Alienware's new flash-based solid state drive solutions dramatically accelerate performance for mobile storage applications," said Bryan de Zayas, Associate Director of Product Marketing at Alienware. "From blazing load times to rock-solid durability, all the essential features that customers look for in a notebook are maximized in Alienware mobile systems loaded with solid state drives."
By not utilizing any moving parts and not needing to spin up to search for data, solid state drives run quieter, consume less power and find data more quickly than traditional spinning hard drives, making them perfect for the on-the-go lifestyle of Alienware notebook users.
