Strange SSD: do not connect the power / SATA cable

Recently, Mach Xtreme introduced a very interesting SSD - MX-DIY, the biggest feature of the product is the compact cut plug and play, without the need for external SATA cable and power cord.

The SSD size of 25.28 × 39.54 × 6.8mm, weighs only 6.8 grams, the interface is a standard SATA interface, directly plugged into the motherboard SATA interface can be used, no power lines or SATA data cable.

Performance, MX-DIY SSD uses a standard SATA 3Gbps interface, the maximum read speed of 220MB / s, the maximum write speed of 80MB / s, MTBF of 2.5 million hours, faster than ordinary mechanical hard drive, but also keep up with the mainstream speed SSD.

Although it looks good, but the limitations are evident, for example, it only provides 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB versions of these types of options, the capacity is indeed a bit small, overall not as good as USB 3.0 interface U disk. And once the SSD SATA interface is inserted next to two SATA interfaces will be blocked, sheer waste of two interfaces.
