The latest Ven­tura Ultra offe­ring reta­ins the ultra-high per­for­mance of the lower capa­ci­ty models while now offe­ring 480GB of sto­rage.  The LSI Sand­Force SF-2281 powered USB SSDs pro­vi­de best in class through­put of 455MB/s reads and 445MB/s wri­tes while pro­vi­ding up to 39K 4K ran­dom IOPS.  The Ven­tura Ultra also is capa­ble of ope­ra­ting in UASP mode, which enables SSD per­for­mance in the USB flash dri­ve form fac­tor. With its attrac­ti­ve and light-weight alu­mi­num housing, the Ven­tura Ultra pro­vi­des out­stan­ding dura­bi­li­ty and ther­mal management.

With the ori­gi­nal Ven­tura Ultra first unvei­led at CES 2013 with sto­rage capa­ci­ties of 60GB, 120GB, and 240GB, the USB 3.0 SSDs have sin­ce remain­ed sold out at aut­ho­ri­zed Mush­kin resellers.

When the Ven­tura Ultra first released, it was very well-recei­ved and con­ti­nues to out­per­form the com­pe­ti­ti­on in the high-end por­ta­ble sto­rage space.  Ever­yo­ne wants grea­ter per­for­mance and capa­ci­ty for lar­ge pro­jects and media.  With the suc­cess of the ori­gi­nal Ven­tura Ultra, we rea­li­zed that we nee­ded to inno­va­te to offer even grea­ter capa­ci­ties while retai­ning high read and wri­te speeds for data trans­fer,” said Bri­an Flood, the Direc­tor of Pro­duct Deve­lo­p­ment at Mush­kin Inc.
