“We have time after time demonstrated to PC enthusiasts how Mushkin’s SSD solutions can dramatically improve performance and reduce data transfer times, delivering levels of performance that have earned Mushkin its place as one of the top SSD manufacturers,” said Brian Flood, director, product management, Mushkin.” With the ProSpec line of enterprise SSDs, we deliver a no compromise drive that provides high performance while enabling customers to reach new levels of data security and reliability. The result, a combination of performance and capacity that we believe represents a new paradigm shift for mission critical, enterprise storage.”
