The adoption of solid state drives (SSDs) is growing rapidly all over the world and the reason why is clear: SSDs simply provide greater return on investment than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). SSD users experience significantly faster read/write speeds and greater durability - all with the added benefits of less power consumption, longer battery life, extended system lifecycles plus more. With prices decreasing and performance benefits increasing, it has never been a better time to upgrade to an SSD.

ETC Blaze SSDs are designed as a direct replacement for traditional spinning disk hard drives. The result is a faster, lighter, and more reliable storage solution. HDDs are electromechanical, meaning they use moving parts to function. Inside a traditional HDD is a spinning magnetic disk and moving read/write head. This causes HDDs to operate more slowly, simply because they must wait for these moving parts to be in position before reading and writing data.
In contrast, ETC Blaze SSDs are Flash-based storage devices with no moving parts, enabling them to read and write files at speeds far greater than a traditional HDD. Blaze SSD users typically experience over a 50% speed increase in boot times and a 20-30% decrease in wait time for applications to load.*
With no moving parts, ETC Blaze SSDs are more reliable and less susceptible to mechanical failures than hard drives. In addition to the speed and performance benefits, Blaze SSDs also generate less heat, run silently, and use less power to operate.
