Sony VAIO VGN-TZ12VN Ultra-Portable Notebook
November 13, 2008 | Electronics, Notebook, Sony | Comments OffA few weeks ago, I reviewed the first example of the new Sony VAIO TZ range. The VAIO TZ11MN is the best ultra-portable notebook that I never used and has also benefited from being at a reasonable price by Sony standards. This time I am looking for very high frequency VAIO TZ – the TZ12VN is significantly more expensive than his brother, so the question is whether it is worth that extra money.
To be honest, is the machine that I really wanted to watch, because it is the first portable Sony come with solid state disk drive, which goes a long way to explain the cost. For me, solid state drives and are ultra-portable notebooks ideal. In fact, my notebook is just that – Samsung Q40 with a solid 32 GB hard – and I was more than happy to trade off capacity for lightning fast access time. But it is not only the performance of solid state drives that make them a better option, they are also much more robust than traditional hard drives.
The important thing to remember about traditional hard disks is that they are mechanical devices, which means that there are a number of mechanical failures that can plague. A solid state drive has no moving parts and is built entirely of flash memory chips, so no amount of bumping, beating or abuse notebook will affect your data – unlike on Traditional hard disk. May you have noticed in recent years that many manufacturers of notebook have implemented G-force sensors in their machines, which locks the hard drive heads if they sense that the notebook has been dropped or hit. Although this type of security is welcome in notebooks, with a solid state driver’s simply not necessary because there are no leaders, he is not afraid of a crash in the head impact.
Another great advantage for readers is solid state disk fragmentation, or rather lack of it. With a traditional hard disk, as files are created and deleted space on the shelf breaks, which means that larger files can be split into several areas in the dish. Accordingly, the disk heads have to travel all the board to access all the necessary data, but with a solid state drive, no matter how fragmented your data, or if it is stored From all areas of each chip is just as fast and easy to access as the next.
