A 120GB mSATA internal SSD with 3D NAND reaching 550MB/s read and 400MB/s write speeds

  • Total capacity120 GB
  • Sequential read speedUP TO 450 MB/s
  • Sequential write speedUP TO 400 MB/s
  • Interface typeMini-SATA (mSATA)
  • Form factormSATA
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Capacity 120GB

  • 120 GB capacity fits operating system and core apps
  • 3D NAND flash reduces cell interference for better reliability
  • Sequential read up to 450 MB/s speeds up boot and load times
  • Sequential write up to 400 MB/s handles file saves and updates
  • mSATA form factor (30 × 50.9 mm) suits compact laptops and desktops

Compact mSATA storage for legacy upgrades

The Dogfish Technology mSATA 120GB internal SSD uses a Mini-SATA interface and 3D NAND flash to add solid-state speed to older laptops and desktops that accept this form factor. Sequential reads reach up to 450 MB/s and writes up to 400 MB/s over the SATA III 6 Gb/s link. The drive measures 30 mm by 50.88 mm and weighs 20 g.

Suits systems with an mSATA slot.

This drive fits devices that have a dedicated mSATA connector and can accommodate the 30 mm by 50.88 mm board. Machines that only offer M.2 slots or standard 2.5-inch drive bays cannot accept it. The operating range of 0 °C to 75 °C covers typical consumer workloads.

The Mini-SATA (mSATA) interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the Mini-SATA (mSATA) interface. Only platforms with a matching mSATA socket and SATA III signalling can use this 120 GB drive.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need an mSATA slot to install this 120GB drive?

Yes, the drive uses the mSATA form factor and requires a dedicated mSATA connector on the motherboard or laptop.

Will this mSATA SSD work in a system that still uses a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive?

Yes, it connects through its own mSATA slot and runs independently of any 2.5-inch SATA drive you keep.

How can I confirm the drive is delivering its rated 450MBps read speed after installation?

Run a sequential read benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark and compare the result to the 450MBps specification.
