Mushkin Announces the Catalyst Cache SSD
Author: Cássio LimaDate: July 24, 2012 - 8:05 AM PST
Category: Storage
More Info: http://www.mushkin.com/Digital-Storage/SSDs.aspx

Mushkin has introduced a new series of “solid state cache” designed for the caching of frequently used data from hard disk drives. A solid state cache is an SSD designed to present a hassle-free upgrade for users who want to increase the performance of their computers but don’t want to install an SSD from scratch. That typically involves copying all the contents from a hard drive to the SSD or, if the contents don’t fit, reinstalling the OS and programs on the SSD. Installing a “solid state cache” is very simple, as you only need to install the device on any available SATA port of the computer, and install a program that monitors which programs you use the most. The program will automatically copy these programs to the SSD, increasing the computer’s performance.

The Mushkin Catalyst Cache SSD series is available in 50 GB and 100 GB capacities and works with any SATA interface. A SATA-600 system can yield up to 550 MB/s (read) and 515 MB/s (write) speeds.

Information on pricing was not provided.
