This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on April 1, 2011 at 3:08 pmMach Xtreme Technology Inc. unveiled the 1.8" micro-SATA MX-MDS Series SSD. Based on the SandForce SF1222 controller, the 1.8" MX-MDS Series delivers an enhanced mobile computing experience with faster application loading, fast data access, shorter boot-ups, and longer battery life of all laptops with micro- SATA interface.
This series maintains high level of read and write performance though the life of the SSD. Intelligent block management and wear leveling optimizes longevity of MX-MDS series drives. The MDS series supports DuraClass, DuraWrite and RAISE technologies. DuraClass technology provides endurance, performance, and low power. DuraWrite technology extends the endurance of MLC memory providing at least 5 year lifecycles with 3-5K cycle MLC flash. RAISE provides the protection and reliability of RAID on a single drive without the significant write overhead.
The MX-MDS drive delivers read and write speeds clocking in at up to 285 MB/s read and 275 MB/s write along with the maximum of 30,000 IOPS and low power consumption (stand-by 0.5W / active up to 2.0W) and durability (1.5 million MTBF) compared to rotating hard disk drives.
Available in capacities of 40GB, 60GB and 90GB, Mach Xtreme Technology MX-MDS SSDs comes backed with 2-year warranty and outstanding after-sales service.
