This document discusses the advantages of Plextor solid state drives (SSDs) compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). It notes that SSDs are faster, more power efficient, shock resistant, and more reliable than HDDs. It highlights several key advantages of Plextor SSDs, including their use of high quality components, unique firmware developed through extensive testing, and advanced data protection and encryption technologies. Plextor SSDs undergo rigorous testing and validation processes to ensure quality and reliability.

1. The Value of Plextor SSD

Introduction

3. SSD = Solid-state drive
The architecture of an SSD is quite different from traditional
hard drives, it utilizes a special kind of memory chip with
erasable, writeable cells that can hold data even when
powered off. It might help to think of an SSD as the larger
cousin of the memory stick.

Plextor SSD Advantage
During the production of Plextor SSD, we must do 100%
-> Read-Write-Checksum-Erase tests/Erase status checking
1. High-low temperature aging test for specific testing time.
2. To find out all weak blocks .
3. To make sure all NAND cells are stable.
