As more and more consumers is concerning about SSD for its attributes of high performance and fast booting, world renowned memory and flash modules manufacturer, KINGMAX, recently launches mSATA SSD MMP20; not only convenient for user to make their own hybrid disk (HDD+SSD), but also suitable for small form factor systems. KINGMAX SSD features “Premium Selected” quality; all flash ICs are strictly screened and the whole SSD is 100% tested before shipping.

For many notebook users, it sounds appealing to upgrade system by SSD; however, it might compromise capacity or overspend when replacing original HDD by 2.5” SSD. KINGMAX MMP20 mSATA reconcile this dilemma. It can be directly install inside notebook on Mini PCI-E slot, and even tiny size is capable as normal 2.5” SSD. Using mSATA SSD as a system disk and keeping original HDD allows the “Hybrid Disk” to have qualities of fast booting, high performance and large capacity.
