Speedy and capacious

Mushkin this week unveiled its new Striker line of solid state drives. The new drives are built for speed and reliability, which largely boils down to the type of controller -- in this case, Mushkin opted for a Phison PS3110-S10 controller, which boasts a quad-core, 8-channel design. It also features 256-bit AES encryption, Opal 2.0, end-to-end path protection, and a few other technologies.
The Striker line uses MLC NAND flash memory and is rated for up to 565MB/s of sequential read performance, up to 550MB/s sequential writes, and up to 90,000 IOPS. As you can probably tell from the performance metrics, the Striker line sports a SATA 6Gbps interface.
"Mushkin is committed to giving our customers the best performing and most reliable SSDs and our new STRIKER family of drives delivers," said Brian Flood, Director of Product Management at Mushkin. "With an ever-increasing demand for greater performance, the new STRIKER drives provides the ultimate combination of speed and reliability for today’s demanding applications."
Mushkin was mum on pricing info, though did say it will launch in capacities ranging from 240GB to 960GB in the first quarter of this year.
