Mushkin launches "Europe" SSD's

Mushkin also enters the SSD consumer market. The company's first series is branded Europe, after the goddess from Greek mythology. Yesterday, the 2.5" drives were announced in capacities of 32, 64, 128, 192 and 256 GB of MLC flash memory. 

The Europe SSD's are packaged in a special aluminum box.

Mushkin specifies a reading speed of 150 MB/s and a writing speed of 90 MB/s. The power consumption would be about 0.5 Watt. Apart from the SATA II interface, the drives also have an integrated mini-USB connector, which allows them to be used as external storage devices. The USB port is able to provide enough power, making a seperate adaptor obsolete. 

The Mushkin Europe SSD's come with three years of warranty. Mushkin reports that the drives will become available soon bearing modest prices.
