Neutron Series GTX SSDs: extreme-performance solid-state drives
Neutron Series GTX is our flagship line of SSDs, designed for
high-end desktop and notebook PCs. Powered by an advanced Link_A_Media (LAMD)
SATA 3 SSD controller, the GTX excels at both random read/write speeds and
sequential write speeds, and provides amazing responsiveness for all types of
data-intensive work.
Designed for Multi-Multi-Tasking.
Neutron Series GTX is designed to support complex data-intensive
work that involves accessing multiple files simultaneously — video production,
large-scale graphics editing, or running multiple office applications at once.
Neutron GTX’s extremely high random IOPS performance gives you the nearly
instantaneous response you need for your high-end desktop or notebook PC.
Save fast, save often.
Neutron GTX’s flagship credentials include incredibly fast
sequential write speeds, regardless of file type. SSDs compress data on the fly
as they save, and many solid-state drives slow down significantly when writing
data that’s already compressed. Neutron GTX is different: saving large videos
and images happens so quickly, the first time it happens, you might have trouble
believing that it’s really working.
Performance that pushes the limits of SATA 3 6Gb/s
Neutron Series GTX is designed to take full advantage of the
latest high-speed standard to get the most performance out of the latest PCs.
It’s also fully backward compatible with SATA 2.
Broad compatibility with PCs, notebooks, and ultraslim notebooks
Neutron Series GTX SSDs follow the universal 2.5” standard, and
easily mount in desktop PCs with 2.5” drive bays. Or, mount it in a hard drive
bay using the included 3.5” adapter.
The 7mm form factor fits both standard notebooks as well as the
latest generation of slim notebook designs. If you’re considering upgrading your
notebook to something slimmer, your Neutron can move with it.
Features
Professional-grade LAMD SSD controller
The LAMD controller is designed to deliver both super-high IOPs —
important for data-intensive tasks like video and image editing — as well as
superior sequential read speeds for lighting fast file access.
Great sequential read speeds, regardless of file type
SSDs compress and decompress files on the fly. Some solid-state
drives hit a performance bottleneck when opening files that can’t be further
compressed. This includes video, audio, and image files — and if your PC is also
your entertainment center or you work with media files as part of your job,
lesser SSDs can slow you down. Neutron’s real-world performance design focus
means impressive file loading times even with non-compressible data.
Install it almost anywhere
Neutron follows the universal 2.5” standard, for quick
installation into most notebooks. It fits into place on newer PCs which have
built-in 2.5” drive support, and with the included 3.5” adapter, you can install
it in a standard hard drive bay.
Many newer slim notebooks get that way at the expense of height
restrictions for SSDs. Neutron is just 7mm high, so it can go where some other
SSDs can’t.
Built for SATA 3 6Gb/s
Neutron Series is designed to support the latest high-speed
standard to get the most performance out of the latest PCs. It’s also fully
backward compatible with SATA 2.
Maintains its Performance Over Time
Neutron Series SSDs support the Windows 7 TRIM command. This
allows them to store only the data they need and perform memory optimization to
ensure the fastest possible write speeds.
Solid-State Reliability
Because SSDs have no moving parts, they can handle shock,
vibration and temperature changes far in excess of traditional hard drives.
That's important for desktop PCs, and essential for notebooks.
Cool and Quiet, with Low Power Consumption
Traditional mechanical hard drives spin at thousands of
revolutions per minute. This takes power, and generates noise and heat. Since
SSDs have no moving parts, there's no noise or vibration, and the lower power
consumption helps keep things cool inside your PC. It can also save battery life
on notebooks.
