Since the MACH2 SSD has no moving parts inside, it can withstand extreme environmental conditions such as 1000G shock, 15G vibrations and 85% humidity.

Traditional HDD suffer of high rotational latency (the time needed for the correct sector to come around to where the read/write heads are located) and seek time (the amount of time required for the read/write heads to move between tracks over the surfaces of the platters). On Solid State Disk there are neither heads nor platters. As such the data are immediately available.

The MTBF of the MACH2 family is 2,000,000 hours, four to five times more than traditional rotating HDD.

The MACH2 Solid State Drive consumes one order of magnitude less than traditional HDD when the drive is operated and two orders of magnitude in idle state. The tremendous power saving makes the Solid State Drive an ideal solution for battery-powered device. Less power consumption also means less heat and as such the MACH2 Solid State Drive doesn't require a fan.
