Mushkin Reactor 512GB Solid State Drive Review

eTeknix checked out the Mushkin Reactor 512GB Solid State Drive

A quote from the article:
After I recently had a look at Mushkin's Striker SSD, it is now time to take a closer look at the Mushkin Reactor SSD and that's just what I am doing in today's review. Mushkin's Reactor solid state drive promises simultaneous capacity and performance while also keeping the initial costs of purchase in the mainstream spectrum. The Reactor drive is available in three capacities from 256GB to 1TB, but I?m taking a closer look at the 512GB model today.

The Mushkin Reactor is a basic mainstream drive that will be a great solution in any workstation system or gaming rig. It is built around the Silicon Motion SM2246EN controller which is a little cheaper than the Phison S10 for example. In return, we get a drive that is cheaper to purchase. It still delivers a great performance thanks to the use of MLC NAND and it is rated for sequential operations up to 560MB/s reading and 460MB/s writing. The random access performance isn't bad at all either and the drive comes with a rating of up to 71K IOPS reading and up to 75K IOPS writing.
