6 Benefits of Solid State Hard Drives

[ad name=”new”]

SSD

We’ve previously written about how important it is to backup your SSD’s regularly. Today we will cover the benefits of Solid State Hard Drives over regular hard drives.

1. Faster Boot Times: SSD’s are up to 100x faster than regular hard drives. This means faster boot times. I had an aging laptop running Windows 7 that took over 3 minutes to finish booting. I put an SSD into that same laptop and now it boots in 15 seconds!

2. More Responsiveness: Programs load significantly faster. You click on the icon and almost instantly the program is loaded and ready for your input.

3. Less Power Usage – SSD’s don’t have any moving parts so they use less power. This means a lower energy bill over time and a longer battery life if you have a notebook computer.

4. Lower Temperatures: SSD’s run cooler because they don’t have platters spinning all the time. This means the other components in your computer are exposed to less heat overall which will help your computer last longer.

5. Practically Indestructible: SSD’s are far more durable. Because there are no moving parts, Solid State Hard Drives aren’t affected by bumps or drops like a regular hard drive.

6. Silent Operation: Once again, due to not having any moving parts, SSD’s are almost completely silent. This makes them perfect for media streaming boxes or home theatre computers.

"Hi Cathie, I just thought I would pass this along to you, hats off to you and your designer this is from a comment from a recent visitor to my new website:

"I looked at your website: the3dpath.com WOW! Absolutely WOW! And that is my professional opinion. Great clean design, easy navigation and I LOVE the rear view mirror image. It really is worth a thousand words."
Diane StricklandCalgary AB
"I have used Ducktoes Computer Services on two occasions and I could not speak highly enough of their helpfulness, politeness and fantastic attitude. They treat me like an old friend. Nothing is too much trouble and their technicians knew exactly what to do to speed up my computer and remove numerous computer viruses. I was so happy I never lost any data."
Peter WCalgary AB
"I have used Ducktoes Computer Service to repair my laptop on one occasion, assist in getting my email to work properly and lastly to develop a website for my consulting business. In all three of these issues, I have received excellent services from the staff at Ducktoes. They turned around the work orders in as little as 1 hour to a little more than 1 week for the website. I highly recommend using this small business if you want really good high quality service at extremely affordable prices."
Barry LunsethStone Edge Consulting
"I have used your services twice and on both occasions been very pleased with the results. Not only did Cathie solve the problems I had with my computer but she also offered options for how I could achieve my future requirements. I felt she was honest and genuinely wanted to help. I will recommend your services to my friends."
John MCalgary AB
"I took my laptop to three other shops and they all said the virus was so bad they'd have to wipe out my hard drive including my work documents and all my photos including my videos of my fishing trips and wedding. Ducktoes worked and worked on the virus for a few days and finally had success without losing any photos and only charged a flat rate instead of by the hour. I can't recommend this place highly enough. So friendly too. Best Virus Removal Ever!"
IvanCalgary AB
"These people are awesome. They really are friendly and always happy to see you. Really. They are cool too...I mean...fun and engaging. Not only is Cathie about the friendliest person in a tech shop I've ever met, her techs, Colin, Ben, Jody, Garett, the ones I've worked with are super friendly and brilliant with computers. That guy, Raz, who came to my house once and worked on my router was great too. My computer runs better than ever. Best Computer Repair Shop in Calgary!
