Mushkin has released its new Catalyst Cache SSD, offering a simple upgrade that combines the capacity of an existing hard drive with the speed of a Solid State Drive.

Using the Dataplex Cache software, you can accelerate the performance of your system as frequently accessed data and applications are cached to the SSD automatically. Less frequently used data stays on the hard drive.

The Mushkin Catalyst Cache SSD is available in 50 GB and 100 GB capacities and works with any SATA interface. A SATA 6 Gb/s system can yield up to 550 MB/s read/ 515 MB/s write.

The Mushkin Catalyst SSD is available now from authorized Mushkin resellers and distributors.
