EMP engineer Cormac O'Sullivan was the main proponent of EMP transitioning to Solid State Disk (SSD) Hard drives in all Industrial Touch Screen applications. Recent studies have shown just how right he is! 

This article from ZDNet's Robin Harris sums it up nicely, but basically you can expect a 50% performance improvement with a SSD over your traditional mechanical hard drive. These tests were done in a server environment, so one can only speculate as to the actual improvement in a high-speed industrial environment. So next time you go to order a system, remember, all EMP Touch Screens come standard with SSD Hard Drives! Does your PanelViewPlus?
