Intel Introduces New Intel SSD 510 Series, considerably better but not amazing

Intel is not far behind and has submitted the new Intel SSD 510 Series, its new solid state drives high performance. Offer significant improvement over previous models, while still keeping the process on 34-nanometer manufacturing despite rumors continued progress towards the 25. For now there are two models of Intel SSD 510, with capacities of 250 and 120 GB reaching the extraordinary figure of 500 and 315 MB / s reading and writing, respectively.

Of course have 6 Gbps SATA interface (also known as SATA III) and is postulated as one of the most cutting-edge SSD market, but not the best: everything points to the models that choose SandForce chipsets such as SF-2200 Vertex OCZ Patriot Wildfire 3 or higher ratios provide some excess of 500 MB / s in both reading and writing.

Although not the best the market no doubt that these new Intel SSDs offer exceptional performance figures, well above any traditional hard drive market and also better than many of the current SSD. And the price? It is not low, of course, but not abusive. We talked about 584 and $ 284 for models 250 and 120 GB respectively.

Now it remains to see what the price competition that mounts SandForce because it provides a very entertaining 2011 regarding the world of the SSD.
