KINGMAX Launches mSATA SSD MMP20

Author: Cássio Lima Date: July 6, 2012 - 10:14 AM PST Category: Storage More Info: http://www.kingmax.com/en-global/news/new1/content/966 The mSATA form factor is a standard that allows ultrathin notebook manufacturers to integrate an SSD drive in a space that is about one-third of the size of a standard business card (3cm x 5cm). The newly announced KINGMAX’s MMP20 drives are compatible with this standard and are available in capacities ranging from 16 GB to 128 GB with a SATA-600 interface. Speeds vary according to the model: 70 MB/s (read) and 22 MB/s (write) for the 16 GB model, 125 MB/s (read) and 40 MB/s (write) for the 32 GB model, 150 MB/s (read) and 70 MB/s (write) for the 64 GB model, and 150 MB/s (read) and 120 MB/s (write) for the 128 GB model. The MMP20 mSATA drives were designed to work in ultrathin, high-performance SSD-based systems and can also act as a cache drive in dual drive systems. SSD caching systems have both a hard disk drive and a low-capacity SSD. These systems use software to automatically identify the most frequently used files and programs and then access those files from the SSD, providing greater performance than a hard disk drive, but at a lower price point than a stand-alone SSD. Information on pricing or availability was not provided. click to enlarge Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark Article | Comments (0)
