LAS VEGAS, NV – Jan. 10, 2018 – Mushkin Enhanced MFG, an industry-leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance and high-reliability storage products, is introducing three new M.2 2280 solid state drive product lines at CES: Pilot, Pilot-E, and Helix-L.
"The need for ultra-high performance PCIe NVMe SSDs is growing across a wide range of markets, from data centers and cloud services to small form factor client devices. These needs have lead us to partner with SMI and not only produce one drive series, but three that cover a wide range of budget and performance requirements," said Brian Flood, Director of Product Development at Mushkin Enhanced MFG. ”Mushkin is excited to help advance PCIe-based storage and allow our customers’ computers to operate at the highest level.”
