IT managers and system builders seeking a compelling alternative to a 7,200 rpm hard drive can check out the SanDisk G3 SSD -- a flash-memory solid-state drive that opens files up to twice as fast, boasting sequential performance of up to 220MB/sec read and 120MB/sec write. The 120GB and 60GB models of the drive are priced at $400 and $230, respectively.
With no moving parts and backed by a 10-year limited warranty, the 120GB SanDisk G3 can endure up to 80TB of data written to it over its lifetime. A smart flash management system called ExtremeFFS accelerates random write performance and extends the drive's endurance, while Windows 7 TRIM support helps retain optimized performance.
