Something Better Than Super Raid

2 mSATA SSDs on one physical SATA III 6GB/s mSATA SSD?

There appears to be one 128GB Lite-On-It CMT-128L 3M mSATA SSD complete with Toshiba NAND and Marvel controller on each side of the Lite-On-It CMT-256L 3m mSATA SSD and that they are somehow running in a single mSATA Slot plus running as a raid0 array.

This is happening in an Acer S7

The important thing is the mSATA form factor and not the Acer Ultrabook that most of us would never buy.

Very good 4K writes.

 

That's a special connection and is still wired like super raid but to either side of the custom PCB.

Not as good as two crucial M4 256GB drives working together and your stuck with that drive.

 

Think outside the box as you normally do.

If it isn't soldered in then an mSATA model with 240/256GB + controller on each side or 480/512GB should be an upgrade possibility if one is ever made.

Maybe even a normal mSATA SSD with the bottom set of pins covered so they don't contact the socket pins meant for the 2nd drive would work?

With a chipset that supports 4+ SATA III connections think of a future super raid with a 4 drive array.

To me this type of mSATA SSD technology has a lot of possibilities in future notebooks.

To bad it made it's debute in an Acer Ultrabook.

 

I'm thinking as a user and how they can upgrade it and use it to their advantage, sure if it gets adopted as a standard then it could work, but at the moment these drives are limited by NAND package density and we are limited by the two sata port limit so having two mSATA ports is better at the moment.
