mSATA flash drives - Used or tried by customers

Post by Arwen »

End-users,
Feel free to reply with information on your mSATA flash drive(s), known to work or not.
Please specify which fitlet model, and enough details about your mSATA flash drive(s)
for someone else to purchase.

Note that their are 2 mSATA lengths, full length cards which the fitlet natively supports.
And half length cards, which if you want to use in a fitlet, you have to get the extension
card.

If you have measured speed results, please post as well as the SATA speed your mSATA
supports.

This is the only mSATA drive I own, so only one tested. This works fine. It's pretty fast,
though the Samsung Evo 840 1TB SATA in my netboot gets 550MBps performance.

My fitlet model - fitlet-iA10

Vendor - Samsung
Model - Evo 840
Size - 500GB
Length - full length mSATA
Speed - SATA III, though I tend to get less than 450MBps

Perform any firmware updates available. Known issue with performance and longevity
fixed in later firmware.

Not sure how to measure speed. But it works well.

Thanks for sharing. There are special tools for measuring read/write speeds of the storage, but you may simply copy large file from one location to another location and read the speed in the dialog window.

I think there are also free tools that can measure the actual speed of the drive.
