2TB mSATA SATA III SSD

This Dogfish internal solid state drive uses the mSATA form factor with a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface and 3D NAND TLC memory. It is built for consumer desktop and laptop systems that have an mSATA slot and need 2 TB of storage capacity.

SATA III 6 Gb/s interface limits

The SATA III connection caps maximum sequential throughput at 6 Gb/s, so real-world speeds cannot exceed the bus ceiling of roughly 550 MB/s. Any system limited to SATA II will reduce the drive to half that bandwidth.

3D NAND TLC with SMI controller

The drive combines 3D NAND TLC flash with an SMI controller to deliver up to 550 MB/s read and 400 MB/s write while supporting TRIM, NCQ and DevSleep for power efficiency. This specification determines whether the drive matches the performance and endurance needs of the target workload.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2TB mSATA version or another capacity?

This model is only offered in 2TB. If you need a different capacity you would have to select a different product line.

What do the 500 MBps read and write speeds mean once the drive is installed?

They are the maximum sequential transfer rates the controller can sustain over the SATA III link; real-world speeds will vary with the host system and workload.

How does the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface limit performance in practice?

The interface caps sequential throughput at roughly 550 MBps, so the drive cannot exceed that ceiling even if the NAND or controller could go faster.
