  • Low power draw in sleep with DevSleep support

Capacity and audience

The Dogfish Technology Shark 2.5 60G is a 60GB internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. Its 2.5 inch form factor and SATA interface make it a direct replacement for mechanical hard drives in older systems.

Build and daily use

The drive measures 100mm by 69mm by 6.8mm and weighs 100g, fitting standard 2.5 inch bays with a 7mm height profile. A SMI controller manages 3D NAND flash, while built-in ECC, bad block management, TRIM, NCQ and DevSleep support maintain data integrity and low power states during everyday operation.

Interface limits

Sequential reads reach up to 540 MBps and writes up to 500 MBps over the SATA III link, with the supplier noting peaks of 550 MBps read and 400 MBps write. The SATA bus caps throughput well below modern PCIe speeds, and the 60GB capacity restricts the amount of software and media that can reside on the drive.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed does the SATA III interface cap this 60GB drive at?

The SATA III link limits sequential throughput to the drive's rated 540 MBps read and 500 MBps write.

Will the 6.8 mm depth fit my laptop's 7 mm bay?

Yes, at 6.8 mm thick it slides into any standard 7 mm 2.5-inch slot.

Do I need to enable AHCI or TRIM in BIOS before cloning my OS?

Set the controller to AHCI mode, then let the OS issue TRIM — skipping AHCI is the common mistake.
