Mushkin Announces the Source SATA SSD with Large Capacity

With the increasing development of the storage market, more and more memory companies would like to research and develop some solid state drives to attract consumers. Meanwhile, Mushkin a famous memory company, also has launched the Source SATA SSD.

Why the solid state drive is so popular? The answer is easy.

The solid state drive is popular since it has a large capacity and longer lifespan because there are no moving parts inside of the solid state drive. What’s more, most solid state drives are in a small size so that it is convenient to carry.

So recently, Mushkin also has released the Source SATA SSD to attract more customers. And some detailed information of this Mushkin Source SSD will be listed in the following paragraphs. You just keep on your reading.

The Mushkin Source SSD comes with two different factors which respectively are the traditional 2.5-inch version as well as the modern M.2 form factor. Even though the form factor is different, both of them come in four different capacities and they are 120GB, 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB.

Mushkin Source SATA SSD takes advantage of Silicon Motion SMI SM2258XT controller which is a DRAM-less controller. And this controller is specializing in some low write environment so that there are some limitations. However, the combination of this controller and Micron 64-layer 3D TLC memory would be a good choice.

It is obvious that the performance of the solid state drive will be different depending on the capacity. And here, for the 500GB Mushkin SSD, the sequential read and write speed can reach up to 560MB/s and 520MB/s. The random read and write performance of this 500GB Mushkin SSD is rated at 75000 and 81000 IOPS.

All features of this Mushkin SSD are combined with MEDS system, which stands for the Mushkin Enhanced Data-protection Suite which ensures that your valuable data is protected. And the performance of this Mushkin Source SSD has been advanced by the SLC cache. The Mushkin Source SSD consumes less power when it is put into sleep mode because there is a Device Sleep Mode of this Mushkin SSD.

The TBW rating available of this Mushkin Source SSD is about 1.5 million hours and these two series of Mushkin SSDs have been provided a 3-year limited warranty.

As a matter of fact, this Mushkin SATA SSD is a good choice for many computer users since it has various large capacities. And it also has good compatibility with the standard SATA III interface and form factor. It also has good read and write performance.

Final Words

In this post, you can know that Mushkin has released two series of SATA SSD, which has the traditional 2.5-inch version and the modern M.2 form factor. They also have the available capacities from 120GB to 1TB. The Mushkin Source SSD also takes the Micron 64-layer 3D NAND and Silicon Motion SM2258XT as the controller.
