Mushkin to ship Atlas, World's First 480GB mSATA Solid State Drive

Mushkin, maker of SSD and memory products, is back with the world’s first 480GB mSATA solid state drive. Coming on January 2013, Mushkin’s new 480GB high-capacity Atlas  SSD drive has a MO-300 (mSATA) form factor measuring 50.80 x 29.85 x 4.85mm, and uses SATA III 6Gbps interface.

 Mushkin managed to fit 8 NAND flash chips and a controller on a mSATA PCB, allowing Ultrabook and slim notebook users to go beyond 256GB mSATA storage capacity. The US-made Atlas mSATA SSD is equipped with SandForce SF-2281 SSD processor with unthrottled IOPS, and uses MLC NAND flash to deliver fast performance. The mSATA drive supports TRIM command, S.M.A.R.T. and built-in ECC error correction.
