Of the 320 Series Intel SSD is much to talk about. After a few words in his presentation Habar need something deeper about them, because it is one of the most anticipated developments in recent years. The reason lies in the new manufacturing process of memory chips, the jump from 34 to 25 nanometers that brings several changes: efficiency, performance and price are features that vary significantly from the previous generation and should be taken into account.
The main change in the Intel SSD 320 Series is, as we say, the new manufacturing process in 25 nanómetrostrae always get the improvements relate to progress in this field: the chips are more energy efficient, more powerful, less and warmed be cheaper, which is important to compete against other products.
The level of performance improvements are not uncommon and are still not up to the industry's most powerful (ie, the SF-2200 SandForce of OCZ Vertex 3 and company), but not bad: 270 and 220 MB / s in reading and writing, respectively, which are figures that a couple of years were great but are now getting as normal.
Eye, because these figures are for the 600 GB model, and if the write speed is becoming smaller as we reduce capacity. Here then you have more specific data: After commenting briefly what is the arrival of 25 nanometers to SSD's time to talk about more general specifications of the Intel SSD 320 Series.
As always we are talking 2.5-inch device, ready to work on both desktop (with an adapter for 3.5-inch bays) and laptops. The connection interface is maintained in SATA II - 3 Gbps, a wise choice since the speeds of the disks will not be limited despite the SATA version. Remember that those 3 Gbps is equivalent to about 384 MB / s theoretical maximum, more than enough to feed the 270 MB / s maximum read these SSD from Intel.
Capabilities move from 40 to 600 GB and prices ranging from $ 1069 89. As previously mentioned transfer rates vary quite markedly depending on capacity, so very careful with this because we have a rude awakening. Intel has always been very good to time to revolutions in their products. In fact, from my point of view is one of the best companies in the technology sector in relation to R & D, new products and new technologies.
Although the Intel SSD 320 Series are very good, and manufacturers related SandForce are doing a great job it is to bad Intel. Intel promised figures are excellent and very good for a traditional HDD, but are considerably less than for example the Vertex 3. We talk more specifically a Vertex 3 / 120 OCZ offers 550 GB and 500 MB / s for a price of $ 300 (on NewEgg, for example), while the same capacity for a SSD Intel 320 "only" reach 270 and 130 MB / s, priced at $ 209 (officers, in store might be a bit less.) It is a logical difference is large (for a 40% increase in price), but when a user opts for SSD storage is often wanting the more powerful.
If for example we have a budget of around € 1,500 for a computer, is not worth putting $ 100 more and have a SandForce based SSD is more than twice as fast? In closing we leave you with a list of officially available models and prices to U.S.: good prices that come to grasp what we have been discussing for years: still expensive, but little by little are being much more affordable.
