Super Talent Technology today announced their 480GB UltraDrive MX SSD is now shipping.

The UltraDrive MX features a new dual-interface for both SATA II and mini-USB connections, enabling installations of the drive as either an internal SSD or an external SSD. This means that you can first utilize the USB connector to create an image of your existing internal hard drive and once complete, the drives can be swapped and the PC rebooted. In the past, creating such an image required an external hard disk enclosure.

The UltraDrive MX features the JMicron 616 which enables this SSD to reach a250MB/s Read and 180MB/s Write speeds. The UltraDrive MX also supports the latest GC and Trim features designed to keep this SSD running at optimum performance.

This UltraDrive MX drive represents a premium consumer offering and fits between Super Talent's Value Line and Enterprise SSD offerings.

The UltraDrive MX is now shipping in 60GB, 120GB, 240 and 480GB capacities.
