* SATA SSD drives are supported with major operating systems,
including Microsoft Windows and Linux
* Up to 50 GB capacity for the single drive delivers high-performance
Input/Output Operations per Second (IOPS), thereby relieving
storage IO bottlenecks
* Investment protection and ease of use
* The absence of moving parts reduces potential failure points
in the users server
* S.M.A.R.T Technology allows software utilities to alert users of
certain impending drive failures so replacements can be made
before a problem occurs
* NOTE: User capacity may vary depending on operating environments
32GB and 50GB are identical, as far as I can tell, except for capacity. Hope this helps. Does not look too great on its own, unless you RAID it. It scales quite well in speed oriented arrays, apparently.
