Great for notebooks, Ultrabooks, or desktops armed with an mSATA connector, the Kingston SSDNow ms200 mSATA solid-state drive brings an instant performance boost for your entire system. Compared with mechanical HDDs, the SSD's fast sequential and random read/write coupled with the SATA 3.0 interface make it possible to boot up your system in seconds, launch applications in an instant, and switch between tasks smoothly. The mSATA SSD has a caseless, PCB-only design and measures one-eighth the size of a 2.5" hard drive. It supports Intel SRT (smart response technology), in which it acts as a high-speed cache to boost your operation, and is TRIM-enabled to maintain the performance for long-term use.
