Capacity and fit

This Dogfish mSATA drive delivers 60GB of 3D NAND storage in the 30x50.9mm form factor. It targets older laptops and desktops that still rely on the mSATA slot for primary or secondary storage.

SATA III practical limits

The SATA III 6 Gb/s interface caps sequential throughput at 550 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write. Real-world speeds will sit below those ceilings because the bus itself is the bottleneck, not the flash.

Build and daily implications

Weighing 7g and measuring just 0.1mm thick, the bare board slides into the slot with no cables or brackets. No moving parts means silent operation, minimal heat, and support for DevSleep to extend battery life on portable systems.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 60 GB or 64 GB version of this mSATA drive?

The drive is a single 60 GB model; the 64 GB label in some listings refers to the same physical unit.

Will I actually see the 550 MB/s read speed in my laptop?

Real-world throughput is limited by the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface and the host controller, so sustained reads typically sit below the 550 MB/s ceiling.

Does the mSATA connector limit performance compared with a 2.5-inch SATA SSD?

No — the mSATA form factor uses the same SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, so the 550 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write caps are identical.
