mSATA SSD for compact systems

The Kingston SSDNow mS200 is a 30GB internal solid-state drive built to the mSATA form factor. It connects through a SATA III interface and delivers sequential reads up to 550MB/s and writes up to 510MB/s. Random performance reaches 75,00 IOPS read and 71,000 IOPS write. The PCB-only design measures one-eighth the size of a 2.5" hard drive.

Suits mSATA slots and caching setups

This drive fits notebooks, Ultrabooks and desktops equipped with an mSATA connector. It supports Intel Smart Response Technology for use as a high-speed cache alongside a mechanical hard drive. TRIM support helps maintain performance on compatible operating systems. Systems without an mSATA slot cannot use this drive.

30GB capacity defines the use case

The 30GB capacity fits operating-system boots, key applications and caching roles. AES 128-bit encryption protects stored data. An MTBF of 1,000,000 hours and shock-resistant NAND flash suit mobile environments. Buyers needing more storage space must select a higher-capacity model.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need an mSATA slot for this 30GB drive?

Yes, the drive uses the mSATA form factor and requires a compatible mSATA connector on the motherboard. It will not fit a standard 2.5-inch bay or an M.2 slot.

Can I pair this SATA III SSD with an older SATA 2.0 hard drive in the same system?

The drive supports SATA 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 interfaces, so it will operate alongside a SATA 2.0 drive at the slower link speed.

How can I verify the drive delivers up to 550 MB/s read and 510 MB/s write after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark on a compatible operating system with TRIM enabled to measure sequential speeds against the rated figures.
