The phenomenal growth of laptop
usage is being driven by the need for mobility and remote
connectivity. Gartner reports that spending on laptop purchases has
surpassed that of desktops in 2009, for the first time ever and the
gap between the two is expected to grow dramatically by
20141.
Decision-makers in the business
world are increasingly willing to make the shift to SSDs. They are
realizing that decreased IT repair and maintenance costs and
increased work efficiency have a direct affect on the Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) of their company's laptops. If you would like to
add up the figures for introducing SanDisk® G3 SSD into your
corporate environment, please try out our TCO CALCULATOR Tool.
One of the most important benefits,
especially for business users who often carry sensitive and
confidential data on their laptops, is the exceptional ruggedness
of the SSD. With no moving parts, the SanDisk G3 SSDs can withstand
conditions of vibration and shock as well as wide temperature
ranges.. SanDisk G3 SSD performance enhances the user experience by
considerably speeding up laptop boot up, shut down and application
launch times2, allowing for smother multi tasking
capabilities. This in turn contributes to heightened user
productivity and less frustration by reducing wait times.
Lastly, SanDisk G3 SSD also features
low power consumption as compared to a 7200 RPM HDD, to save energy
and extend battery usage time, which is a major benefit for
frequent business travelers.
