Mushkin Unveiling ProSpec Enterprise eMLC 6Gb SATA 2.5-Inch SSD

Mushkin, Inc., designer and manufacturer of high-performance and mission-critical computer products, launched its enterprise class ProSpec series SSDs.

"We have time after time demonstrated to PC enthusiasts how Mushkin’s SSD solutions can dramatically improve performance and reduce data transfer times, delivering levels of performance that have earned Mushkin its place as one of the top SSD manufacturers," said Brian Flood, director, product management at Mushkin.

Designed for the enterprise environment, ProSpec SSDs deliver random read/write performance of 80K/42K IOPS and a sustained transfer rate of 560MB/s, and are available in useable capacities ranging from 100GB to 400GB.

Enterprise drives come equipped with commercial MLC Flash to achieve 10x the write endurance levels while also delivering no performance degradation over the life of the drive, making it suitable for the enterprise environment. Equipped with Mushkin’s Power Safe Technology, ProSpec SSDs also provide enhanced power-loss data protection through hardware and firmware-based features that prepare the SSD for an unexpected system power loss.
