Mtron Mobi 3000 SSD Review

sgogeta4 · 11-15-2009, 10:34 PM

It's a professional SLC SSD, so ~$10/GB is normal pricing.

Are there any news regarding availability of the new Mtron 64GB 1,8" PATA ZIF?

I received an update from RocketDisk 3 months ago here. Summarized as: We'll keep you updated on it's release, expect to pay US$420-$450.

I asked some European distributors. The same answer. Nothing so far.

Hi Nando & others,

Nando emailed me to ask for an update on the Mtron 1.8" 64GB SSD.

The latest update is actually from Toshiba, who supplies Mtron with their NAND flash. It's a special type of SLC NAND that would be needed in mass quantities for this form factor & this capacity, and this is not high on Toshiba's priority list. Mtron of course, would love to manufacture this SSD, because of the success of the 32GB version & the long long list of inquiries for the 64GB. However, it does not look like it is going to happen anytime soon unfortunately.

Here at RocketDisk, we do have 2 pcs of the Mtron 1.8" 64GB SSD for sale. These are the ONLY 2 pcs of this SSD that exist. If anybody would like to purchase 1 or both of these, please call us in our office at 310-882-5493 or email us at sales@rocketdisk.com

Thanks!!

I just purchased a Mtron SSD MOBI MSD-PATA3018 Solid state drive - 32GB for $150.
Will post a few benchmarks when I have it installed in my D430.

Here are the Crystal Disk Benchmarks for the new Mtron SSD MOBI MSD-PATA3018 Solid state drive that I installed in my Dell Latitude D430:

The installation was easy as the access to the original HDD was just underneath the removable battery.
I used Acronis to clone the old drive and was up and running in 15 minutes.

Can anyone suggest why the Write scores are lower than expected?
Any ideas on how to improve the overall SSD performance?
I would like to match the benchmarks posted by Nando4 below on line 2?
