Your solid state drive craving eyes are not deceiving you. Learn more about this data storage technology. eProvided Flash Drive Data Recovery Discusses Solid State Drive Technology, and PCIe.  Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is an interface standard for a computer’s architecture. Every motherboard has several PCIe slots available for adding GPUs, and add-on cards. Depending on which motherboard you buy, will determine if these slots are available. With that said, a PCIe connection operates like a system. PCIe Lanes Explained There are 5 slots connections within a PCIe. PCIe slot configurations come in x1, x4, x8, x16, and x32. Each number after the x describes how many lanes that slot has. A x1 slot carries one bit per cycle …

According to Computer Weekly, PCIe SSD technology is just the most recent incarnation of the solid state drive (SSD) revolution. The SSD revolution is epic because it is steering us away from traditional hard drive devices in favor of a faster, cooler, and more energy-efficient replacements. The SSD Revolution, Faster, Lighter & Energy Efficient. When put side by side, the traditional hard drive does not, and cannot, hold a candle to solid state drives. Traditional hard drives consist of moving, mechanical parts. They’re loud, run hot, put a sizeable amount of strain on a computer system, and only access some data fast. In stark contrast, SSDs have no moving parts. They leverage NAND technology. Unlike hard drive devices, SSDs run …

mSATA stands for mini-SATA. In fact, originally developed by Intel. This is a format designed for ultra-small Solid State Disks (SSDs). Ideal for notebook and netbook construction. mSATA SSDs are semi similar to mini-PCI Express cards. In this mSATA 101 blog, we are going to address nine of the most commonly asked questions regarding mini-SATA technology. eProvided services SSD file recovery disasters. Question 1: Can any notebook use an mSATA SSD? No. Despite the fact that this technology has a mini-PCI Express form factor, the slot must have support for an mSATA’s electric connections. Unfortunately, not all notebooks offer the proper connections. Question 2: Who makes mSATA cards? Intel is currently the biggest supplier of these cards, which isn’t surprising …

  Time will tell. The hype over the future of NAND technology, worth the fuss? NAND is non-volatile memory we use in today’s cameras and other flash media devices. It’s also used in a fast-growing number of computers as a hard drive. What’s the meaning of non-volatile? It means the device will perform memory retention inside the NAND flash card even when the power is off. Power failures or logical corruption can lead to the need for flash memory recovery solutions. NAND memory technology is getting smaller and smaller. Its capacity to hold memory and its long life have given this technology a boost. We use this technology in two ways. There is SLC and MLC flash. Both are initials …

SSD Innovations. Benefits in using an SSD? Solid State Drives (SSDs) are one of the newest innovations in technology under the broad umbrella of storage devices. Its predecessor, the hard disk drive, is still a part of the technology scene. Larger HDDs are being developed to cope with the demand for storage across portable and fixed computers. Currently, Solid State Drives are expensive because of their high per-megabyte cost. Namely, many times more than HDD’s. As of April 2018 prices have dropped dramatically. Because of the difficulty of finding sales for high-volume SSD’s, not many of them are produced for the consumer market. More often, smaller, more reasonably priced SSDs are built for the everyday user. Thus, everyday users don’t …

Switching From Traditional Devices and Storage. Hard disk sales drop. More people are switching from using traditional computers to using smartphones and tablets for various computing tasks.
