| Solidata SSDs fail to impress: higher power consumption than normal HDD Solidata managed to really shock us. Its X1 and X2 drives are based on SLC and MLC flash, and come in 64 GB and 128 GB storage capacities, respectively. These devices provide fast read performance, but only average write performance, and poor I/O capabilities. This alone would not be much of an issue if you intended to use one of these drives on a notebook PC, where I/O performance is not a crucial factor. However, these products require so much power that they got hot during our testing. Even a high performance 3.5” desktop hard drive requires less power than these two offerings. I’m sorry to say it, but these products are a perfect example of what SSDs should not be. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...-ssd,2265.html
