Mushkin, Inc., an industry-leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance and mission-critical computer products, today announces that the company will begin shipping the world's largest capacity mSATA Solid-State Drive in January 2013. As the latest addition to Mushkin's Atlas family of mSATA drives, the new solid-state drive delivers up a colossal 480 gigabytes (GB) of storage capacity on a single mSATA module.
"We're excited to present our latest Atlas 480GB mSATA solid state drive, demonstrating once again Mushkin's consistent ability to combine top performance, functionality, capacity, and low-power innovation," said Brian Flood, Director of Product Development at Mushkin Inc. "Keeping z-height as low as possible and managing to fit eight NAND flash chips and a controller on a mSATA PCB was no easy feat, but now capacity-hungry Ultrabook and notebook users can go beyond the 256GB mSATA barrier."
As a cultural symbol rich in oriental aroma, bamboo embodies the loftiness and uprightness of a gentleman. Designed in line with the nature-oriented concept, AH153 (USB 3.0) and AH137 (USB 2.0) flash drive takes the shape of a bamboo ring. Besides the refreshing sentiment from its green bamboo ring, which is rare among 3C products, the ingenious "step-by-step" design enables various AH153 and AH137 models to be connected to each other. It creates fun of use, adding fresh and elegant literati taste to technology products!
The dark, decent green AH153 features large capacity up to 64 GB, with maximum transmission speed reaching 90 MB/s. Known to be the fastest ever super-mini USB 3.0 flash drive with the largest capacity, AH153 is quite simply unsurpassable!
In response to the global concern for environmental protection, Apacer indicates that most 3C products in the market mainly feature modern technological style. Nevertheless, Apacer is committed to integrating natural elements into product design, bringing people closer to nature, which offers more profound user experience and conveys the respects toward nature. From tree-originated AH135 to bamboo-inspired AH153 and 137, they are the crown jewel of Apacer's design.
