Bjorn3D posted a review on the Mushkin Catalyst Cache 50GB SSD

[qutoe]Mushkin has come back into the SSD scene with their Catalyst Cache SSD. Mushkin has a few other SSD’s on the market, including, the Callisto, the Atlas, and the Chronos line. The Catalyst is intended as a cache-exclusive SSD, and it only comes in capacities of 100GB and 50GB, whereas other models come in capacities of up to 480GB. However, this is fine as cache SSD’s are intended to be paired up with higher capacity hard-drives.

We previously reviewed the OCZ Synapse Cache drive, an SSD designed for a similar purpose from OCZ. However, unlike the Mushkin Catalyst, the OCZ Synapse hada 50% NAND overprovisioning, which meant that the drive could still be used (at least partially) for storing files, or installing the OS. This drive does not have such a feature and cannot be used as the primary boot drive. The Dataplex software specifically assigned to this drive uses all 50GB of drive space for caching, so you must already have a primary boot drive assigned.
