    Summary

    The first mSATA-based SSDs we reviewed wowed us with diminutive dimensions, but not as much with performance. Today's best efforts are a lot more like their desktop equivalents, though. We round up 10 models between 64 and 256 GB and nail down a winner. ...

    Summary

    The X25-E remains one of the fastest Intel SSDs in the enterprise despite being three generations old from a controller standpoint. The inherent advantages of SLC NAND are undeniable. Intel's SSD 520 regularly comes close to the X25-E in performance and e...

    Summary

    Let's be honest. In the PC world, size matters. This is true not only for the height of ATX towers, but also for the thickness of ultrabooks. The size of one's SSD is important, too. In addition to defining how many applications, games, and data can enjoy...

    Summary

    So after reading all the results i am sure many of you are wondering about which SSD is currently the best one in the market. Well if you can afford the extra premium then the RevoDrive3 240GB is without doubt faster than every other SSD in thi...

    Summary

    Intel's 320 Series SSD is best compared to the last generation Sandforce SF-1200 drives. The drive offers slightly better performance at a similar price point, but this is not enough to compete with Sandforce's latest SF-2200 controller. One reason is ...

    techpowerup.com
    Pros

    5 year warranty, Free SSD Migration software available from Intel's website, Supports TRIM, Nice looking, rugged metal case

    Reliability issues, Only average performance, No support for SATA 6 Gbps, High price

  • 09/07/2011

    Summary

    The Intel SSD 320 performed just about where we expected it to in terms of its RAID0 performance. In most benchmarks it yielded between 1.5 to 2x the performance of a single SSD, giving us the reliability of the trusted completely-Intel powered 3Gb/s p...

    storagereview.com
    Pros

    1.5-2x the performance of a single SSD 320, No surprises

    Cons

    Performance still not impressive next to top-end single drives

  • 07/12/2011

    Summary

    In our roundup of solid-state drives, Intel’s entrant bore Marvell’s 9174 6Gb/s SATA controller, rather than an Intel one. While the Intel 510 SSD performed respectably among its 6Gb/s SATA peers, it’s not the top-to-bottom Intel drive fans have been w...

    Pros

    Competitive read/write performance; good pricing; robust.

    Cons

    Limited by 3Gb/s SATA; late to the game; randomwrite IOPS lag behind leaders.

    Summary

    Overall, we would say that the Intel SSD 320 Series 160 GB performed very well in our tests, even though the comparison drives performed better in a couple of them. This surprised us a little, as the Intel unit has a significantly lower maximum write s...

    Summary

    The successor to Intel's popular and powerful X25-M, the 300GB SSD 320 Series solid-state drive is a strong performer with some useful features—but its support for slower SATA II makes it seem a little old-fashioned in 2011. Buy it now...

    Pros

    Increased security features. Inexpensive compared with other recent drives.

    Cons

    Lacks support for 6Gbps SATA.

    Cons

    Faster currentgeneration SSDs exist

  • 06/02/2011

    Summary

    Overall the Intel 320 is an easy drive to recommend. It may lack the headline grabbing sequential transfer rates of the 510 series, but in other respects the drive is a match for its more illustrious and expensive stable mate. As with other Marvell bas...

    Summary

    The product is what it is though, a SATA2 based mid-ranger, it hovers in-between the SandForce 1200 series based products and the Indilinx solutions with anomalies up and downwards here and there.Overall that is a snazzy position to be in if I'll be total...

    Summary

    The Intel SSD 320 returns Intel to its rightful place amongst the performance leaders in the mainstream SSD category. Though the drive trailed competitors from Samsung, OCZ, and Crucial on many of our tests, it was usually within just a few millisecond...

    Pros

    Strong overall performance, 128-bit Encryption, Keeps data safe from power loss

    Cons

    Competitors are faster, Doesn't support SATA 6Gb/s

  • 03/28/2011

    Summary

    Summary

    We are thrilled to see Intel push out a third generation of their own native controller, but it has left us wondering what is in store next. As much as we would love to, we have yet to see an Intel-branded SATA 6Gb/sec part. For now we'll just have to sti...

    pcper.com
    Pros

    Excellent throughput for SATA 3Gb/sec, Excellent build quality, Ground breaking IOPS, beating out 6Gb/sec solutions at lower queue depths, Competitive pricing (see below)

    Cons

    It's a bit late to come out with a 'new' 3Gb/sec part

  • 03/28/2011

    Summary

    The Intel SSD 320 has been created to be Intel's main SSD workhorse, and it is truly better than the X25M in every aspect: reliability, performance, capacity and even price. The reliability has been improved with data protection features and the storage c...
