The Samsung Q1-SSD is a high-performance version of the Q1 - featuring a Solid State Disk and Pentium M processor it offers significantly faster boot times and faster program operation - it is also quieter, more durable and more efficient than it's counterpart with a spinning hard disk.

It is designed for optimal portability and resolves many of the traditional challenges of mobile computers. The data in flash memory disks is much more secure against external shocks that can occur when transporting a mobile computer. The SSD can withstand about twice the impact that would cripple a regular hard disk drive.

The Microsoft Windows XP operating system will boot up 25-50% faster on the SSD than on other drives—good news for those in a hurry.
