Kingmax Rolls Out MMP20 mSATA SSD

KINGMAX Technology Inc. launches the mSATA SSD MMP20 for user to make their own hybrid disk (HDD+SSD), and suitable for small form factor systems.

All flash ICs are screened and the whole SSD is 100% tested before shipping.

For many notebook users, it sounds appealing to upgrade system by SSD; however, it might compromise capacity or overspend when replacing original HDD by 2.5" SSD. The MMP20 can be directly install inside notebook on Mini PCIe slot, and even tiny size is capable as normal 2.5" SSD. Using mSATA SSD as a system disk and keeping original HDD allows the Hybrid Disk to have qualities of fast booting, high performance and large capacity.

In addition, mSATA SSD is becoming economic storage for system upgrade in mainstream PC market since more and more Z68 or Z77 motherboards support Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT). SRT is an Intel Rapid Storage Technology caching feature; it allows a user to configure computer systems with an SSD used as cache memory between the hard disk and the system memory. Installing MMP20 mSATA SSD with HDD, a user is able to keep storage capacity and SSD-like overall system performance.

The MMP20 is compact and compliant with JEDEC MO-300B. It is not only applicable for notebook and desktop systems, but also suitable for small form factor and embedded systems, such as tablet. MMP20 adopts SATA II 3GB/s interface and equips with a controller which optimizes the flash memory management to maximize system reliability and performance. The SATA interface optimizes the translation between host devices and flash, which results in efficient data read/write transfer, enhances boot times/ application load times and reduces power consumption.

MMP20 meets RoHS regulations and was certified CE and FCC. All KINGMAX products have been 100% tested under quality control system to meet all requirements before shipping. The product warranty service ensures product quality and flawless customer services.
