V7, a global provider of premier computer accessories worldwide and
a division of Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), today introduced its V7
Elite 2.5-inch Solid State Drives (SSDs), offering exceptional
performance and a thin profile to meet the demands for fast,
dependable, compact storage for Ultrabooks™, laptops, desktop PCs
and servers.
V7 Elite 2.5-inch SSDs are ideal for users of desktop and laptop
PCs, and administrators of mass storage servers who desire to boost
system responsiveness above and beyond current capacities. Offering
many compelling advantages over traditional hard disk drives, solid
state drives have rapidly grown in popularity in both the consumer
and enterprise information technology sectors. V7 Elite 2.5-inch
SSDs capitalize on these technology benefits and offer significant
features and functionality to support performance gains for any
computing application.
"As today's laptops and servers become thinner and more compact,
there is a tremendous demand for small-form factor storage that
delivers greater speed, lower power consumption, greater
reliability and exceptional durability," said Rainer Kozlik, vice
president and general manager of Ingram Micro's Global V7 Private
Label Group. "Upgrading hard drives to solid-state drives is one of
the best upgrades you can make, as hard drives tend to be among the
biggest bottlenecks in performance. V7 Elite 2.5-inch solid state
drives give users significant technology benefits, including fast
start-up and application launch times, power efficiency, and data
integrity in a form factor that is virtually indestructible."
Features, Pricing and Availability
Recognized as a global brand offering "great gear for all,"
featuring quality and style at a compelling price, V7 is making its
new lineup of Elite 2.5-inch SDD products readily available to
e-retailers and channel partners worldwide.
V7 Elite 2.5-inch SSD products address consumers' needs for
speed and greater system responsiveness. Because of its high-speed
SATA-III/6 Gb/sec interface, the SSD drives are typically 90
percent faster than traditional hard drives, and deliver start-up
times that are more than 75 percent faster, enabling more rapid
boot-up times.
Offering read/write speeds of 550/530 Mb/sec., and up to 4K
Random Read/Write of 28,000 IOPS/90,000 input/outputs per second,
the V7 Elite SSD product line maximizes system performance by
handling large amounts of data quickly for improved system
responsiveness. Users will realize faster application launch and
shut-down times, and higher sustained read, write and sequential
speeds.
V7 Elite SSD products leverage highly reliable and enduring
flash components. Impressive power and write specifications are
delivered via use of MLC NAND Flash technology and the data
compression powerhouse SandForce® SF-2281 controller.
Featuring a slim 7 mm thick design, V7 Elite SSDs deliver
benefits over HDDs in that they have no moving parts, eliminating
mechanical failure and noise concerns. This also lessens power
consumption, improves battery life and lowers heat signature -- all
significant benefits for today's low-profile notebooks, servers and
other devices. SSDs are extremely rugged, functioning in extreme
temperatures and able to withstand extreme shock -- up to a 100G
shock resistance rating -- and G-force, yielding a robust storage
solution that can withstand the most intense environmental
factors.
Additionally, V7 Elite SSDs yield significant benefits from a
data integrity perspective. As they cannot "crash" and lose data,
information remains intact and accessible for years to come. The
drives feature S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting
Technology) to detect and report on various reliability indicators
and support optimal operation. The drives are also TRIM-compatible.
TRIM support is essential for an SSD to run optimally and extend
the life of the drive.
Pricing for the new V7 Elite 2.5-inch family of SSDs is MSRP
$149.99 for the 128GB capacity (VBS3128GR-3N) and MSRP $279.99 for
256GB (VBS3256GR-3N). V7 Elite 2.5-inch SSDs are backed by a
limited two-year warranty.
