IOPS to give a performance edge over the previous generation. Using the latest controller technology, Vertex
2 not only provides a faster, more responsive PC experience, but promotes cooler, quieter, and more
energy efficient conditions compared to traditional mechanical hard drives. Built with SATA 3Gb/s, the Vertex
2 Series easily integrates into today’s mobile and desktop platforms and features TRIM support to optimize
performance over the drive’s lifespan as the ultimate Windows 7 notebook or desktop upgrade.
