Form factor and capacity

The Dogfish Technology mSATA-120GB is an internal solid state drive with a 120GB capacity and an mSATA form factor. It uses 3D NAND flash memory and connects through a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface. The drive is intended for consumer desktop and laptop upgrades where an mSATA slot is available.

Installation notes

The drive measures 30mm by 50mm and fits standard mSATA slots. Installation requires only inserting the module into the slot and securing it with the board screw. Ensure the system BIOS recognises the SATA III interface; some older platforms may need a firmware update to boot from the drive. The controller supports TRIM, NCQ and DevSleep for standard operating system integration.

Sustained load behaviour

Sequential read reaches up to 500 MBps and sequential write up to 420 MBps according to the specification sheet. The SMI controller includes ECC, bad block management and wear levelling to maintain consistent throughput during extended writes. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 75°C, so adequate chassis airflow is advisable for prolonged heavy workloads.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 120 GB mSATA drive is running at its rated 500 MB/s read speed after installation?

Run a SATA benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark and compare the sequential read result to the 500 MB/s specification; the drive should reach that figure when connected to a SATA III port.

What comes with the 120 GB mSATA SSD and what must I source separately?

The package contains only the 30 x 50.9 mm mSATA module; you must supply a compatible mSATA slot and any mounting screw required by your laptop or desktop.

Which capacity should I choose if I need the 120 GB model with 3D NAND and 500 MB/s read performance?

Select the 120 GB variant listed as mSATA-120GB; it delivers the stated 500 MB/s sequential read and 420 MB/s sequential write using 3D NAND flash.
