Alienware Offers Notebooks with Solid State Drives

Alienware has added solid state drive (SSD) options to its notebook PCs. The offered SSD choices include 32GB units, as well as 64GB RAID 0 option with two 32GB drives.

These Flash memory-based Serial ATA drives are available on the 17-inch Area-51 m9750 and Aurora m9700 laptops, as well as on the 15.4-inch Area-51 m5550.

The system with 32GB solid state drive is for $500 more expensive than the same laptop configuration with a standard 80GB hard drive. If you purchase the Alienware notebook featuring 64GB SSD RAID 0 storage, you will have to pay $920 more when compared to laptop with 160GB HDD RAID 0 solution.

According to Alienware, the offered solid state drives provide faster performance, more reliable and quieter operation, and better energy efficiency than standard hard drives.
