Blaze Solid State Drive

* Based on ETC testing results. Performance may vary depending on OS configuration etc.

Solid State Drives (SSDs) are a breakthrough in modern computing. ETC® SSDs are faster, lighter, more durable, and more reliable than traditional hard drives. Designed with the same dimensions as a standard 2.5" notebook or netbook hard drive, ETC SSDs act as a direct drop-in replacement. The ETC SSD will work in any computer (PC or Mac) or device (notebook, netbook, desktop, media center, etc.) with a SATA interface and form factor of 2.5" or greater.
