Capacity and form factor

The Kingston SMS200S3/60G is a 60GB mSATA internal solid-state drive built for notebooks, Ultrabooks and desktops that have an mSATA connector. Its caseless PCB design measures one-eighth the size of a 2.5 inch hard drive and uses a SandForce 2241 controller with a SATA 3.0 interface.

Thermals noise and power

The drive draws 0.4W at idle, 1.2W during typical read operations and 1.8W during typical write operations. With no moving parts it operates silently and is rated for an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, a storage range of -40°C to 85°C and a vibration resistance of 20G.

Sequential speed ceiling

Sustained sequential read reaches 550MBps and sustained sequential write reaches 520MBps over the SATA 3.0 link. These figures set the practical performance ceiling for boot, application launch and file transfer workloads on this 60GB mSATA SSD.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SMS200S3/60G mSATA SSD and what is the common mistake?

Insert the card into the mSATA slot at an angle, then press it down and secure it with the mounting screw; the step people miss is fastening that screw, which leaves the drive loose and can cause connection loss.

What maintenance or replacement will the SMS200S3/60G need over time?

No mechanical maintenance is required; keep the operating temperature between 0°C and 70°C, ensure the OS issues TRIM commands to sustain write performance, and replace the drive only if SMART data reports worn NAND or reallocated sectors.

What limit appears first on the SMS200S3/60G during sustained heavy writes?

The 520 MBps sustained sequential write ceiling is reached before thermal throttling, because active write power is 1.8 W and the drive is rated to 70°C operating temperature.
