ARCTIC 2 in 1 mSATA SSD

This ARCTIC accessory is a 2 TB mSATA solid-state drive built for laptops and desktops that accept the mSATA form factor. It uses 3D NAND flash with a TLC controller to deliver faster boots, quicker application loads and snappier file transfers than a mechanical hard drive. The drive connects through a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface and is rated for sequential reads up to 550 MB/s and writes up to 500 MB/s.

Suits mSATA upgrade projects only

Buyers whose systems have an available mSATA slot and want a capacity boost with solid-state speed will find this drive a direct fit. It is not suitable for machines that only provide M.2 slots, U.2 bays or traditional 2.5 inch SATA bays without an adapter. Shoppers needing higher throughput than the SATA bus can provide should consider a different interface.

SATA III 6 Gb/s interface decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface in the mSATA form factor. If the host device lists an mSATA SATA connection, this SSD will work; if the slot is keyed for PCIe only, it will not. No other single figure in the data sheet governs whether the part fits the system.

Questions about this item

What do the 550 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write speeds mean for everyday use?

They indicate the maximum sequential transfer rates over the SATA III link; actual boot, app-launch and file-copy times will be lower but still far quicker than a mechanical hard drive.

What does the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface limit in practice?

The interface caps sustained throughput at roughly 550 MB/s, so the drive cannot exceed its rated 550 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write even if the flash memory is faster.

What physical slot does this mSATA SSD need to install?

It plugs directly into a standard mSATA (Mini-SATA) connector on the motherboard or an adapter card.
