VisionTek 480GB mSATA Internal Solid State Drive - 900613

Small; Superfast and Versatile

Whether you desire a lightning-fast boot drive; a second Solid State Drive-based storage drive; or a SSD cache drive to speed up your primary hard drive; the VisionTek 480GB mSATA SSD is built to deliver reliable; high performance. This ultra-portable; low-power storage solution is one eighth the size of a traditional 2.5" hard disk drive (HDD); yet because it's engineered with industry-leading DuraClass technologies; the VisionTek mSATA SSD can deliver data rates up to 540MB/s; up to 100x greater data reliability than a costly Enterprise class HDD; and access times up to 50x faster than a conventional HDD. It's SATA 6G ready; but backward compatible with SATA 3G and 1.5G machines too; making the VisionTek mSATA SSD a versatile storage performance booster for a wide variety of devices.

Speed and Capacity for Desktop

Ideal for ultrabook PCs; the VisionTek mSATA SSD can also be mounted directly to a mSATA interface equipped desktop PC motherboard. Now; instead of using up a drive bay for a 2.5" SSD and having to buy an expensive adapter; you can easily add the VisionTek mSATA SSD as a performance-boosting cache drive to complement an large storage capacity HDD.

Product Features:

• No moving parts
• Silent; cool; energy efficient operation
• Excellent shock; vibration; and temperature resistance
• Access time up to 50x faster than HDD
• Designed to deliver SATA 6G speeds; yet backward compatible to SATA 3G and 1.5G
• Ultrathin form factor doesn't add bulk
• DuraWrite extends the drive endurance by 20x or more compared to standard SSD controllers
• Advanced wear leveling and monitoring distributes data evenly across the entire drive
• Advanced Read/Disturb management safeguards against data corruption by spreading read/write cycles across the flash components
• Intelligent garbage collection "recycling" maintains optimal write speeds by clearing blocks of unneeded data during off-peak usage times
• RAISE (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) protects the data on your drive from flash block failures without typical RAID inefficiencies
• Superior error correction (ECC) protection for longest data retention and drive life
