Simple DIY Computer Upgrade Experience

The 120GB, 240GB and 480GB Daytona Series drives are also available with the industrys best and most straightforward Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Easy Installation Kit. The kit allows users to install their new SSD on their own without hiring a computer tech or leaving their laptop at a service center. The all-inclusive kit includes cloning software (Windows), an SATA 3/USB 3.0 adapter, 3.5 drive bay adapter, and quick start guide. It also includes a link to a helpful installation video and even a screwdriver with all the bits necessary to safely and securely install the new SSD drive. Notably, the kit duplicates a computer’s existing hard drive onto the SSD, ensuring a seamless transition and an exact clone of all data (Mac users should be able to achieve the same result using OS X Disk Utility, Time Machine, or third-party cloning software). Once installed, users enjoy their exact same computer and data only thanks to its new SSD drive, it’s faster and has longer battery life. The Daytona Series upgrade kit is available for a suggested retail price of $134.99 (for 120GB), $234.99 (for 240GB), and $484.99 (for 480GB).

Dramatically Faster Than Magnetic Drives

Monster Digital’s SSDs are claimed to be 5x faster than conventional 7,200 RPM Hard Disc Drives and 10x as reliable. Notably, because there are no moving parts and are over provisioned Daytona provides superior reliability and touts a 2,000,000 hour MTBF.

Thanks to their low power consumption, Daytona drives provide significantly longer battery life. Power consumption is <5W active and <200mW inactive. Users also enjoy the peace of mind that comes with airtight data security via 256-bit AES encryption. Even compared to most competitors' SSDs, the Daytona series is claimed to be more reliable with more consistent speed due to Reduced Write Amplification and Over Provisioning. Monster Digital SSDs also support TRIM and come with a 3-year warranty.

Monster Digital CEO Jay Tandon notes: "Demand for high-performance SSDs continues to build among today's computer users. Everyone wants faster access speeds, longer laptop battery life and the reliability only SSDs can offer. With our new Daytona Series, we are providing an easily accessible, high-speed option for reliable storage with significantly lower energy consumption and silent operation compared to conventional HHD drives. They are the ideal choice for people who want the very best performance and efficiency. Our new Daytona drives are especially well suited to laptops.
