As you know, we are a huge proponent of SSD caching, and think every single system should have it installed now. And with motherboards such as the Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H include an mSATA adapter onboard, setting up a cached system can be clean and easy. One problem with lower capcity SSDs is that with fewer NAND channels going to the controller, performance can suffer. And although a 30 GB cache can give you a noticeable performance gain, you may not be getting as much as possible out of it. In that case, you might want to check out Mushkin’s new Atlas Deluxe 30GB: Using 32nm toggle flash allows Mushkin to pack in more NAND dies per chip than they would with MLC flash. This saturates the SandForce controller as much as possible for a 30GB SSD, and the specs reflect this: 555 MB/s read, 365 MB/s write, and 92K read and 70K write IOPS at 4K random. Check out the full press release here, or after the break:   Austin, TX — Nov 08, 2012 / — Mushkin, Inc., an industry-leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance and mission-critical computer products, today announced the worldwide launch of its new 30GB Atlas deluxe(TM) mSATA solid-state drive (SSD), scheduled to start shipping this month.
