Reviews:
The Renice mSATA 120GB SSD has pulled through as, not only the top mSATA SSD we have tested to date but also, it has shown that it can stand amongst the best SSDs despite its size. We never expected its mind boggling performance score of 42474 to easily surpass full size SSDs such as the Samsung 470 series which, not so long ago, was the reigning leader in performance. Some may frown at the $309 price tag but its simply a value for capacity trade.
Overall we couldn’t have been more pleased with the Renice X3, adding another option for users seeking to take advantage of the mSATA slot in their computer. One downside at least for now, is the Renice X3 is not being sold by any big-name US retailer, making it difficult for shoppers to find unless they are specifically looking for it.
