Considering that the Intel 520 Series solid state drive uses the same Sandforce SF-2281 controller as the Kingston HyperX and OCZ Vertex 3 MI, it's not surprising that the results we recorded are quite similar in a number of the tests.All four of the driv...
Best performing SandForcedriven SSD we've tested to date, Extensive reliability validation testing, 5year warranty,
Low IOPS at low Queue Depths (limitation of SandForce hardware), Intro pricing on the high side.
Intel appears to be making a habit out of adopting other SSD controllers and revamping their firmware to make them their own. From what we've seen today, they are indeed very good at it. This is the best performance we've seen out of SandForce hardwar...

Overall, Intel has come out with a very fast drive that will save your battery, save your wallet (at least in terms of SSD cost) and provide some great data protection and compression features....
I've been a fan of SandForce's technology since it first showed up in OCZ's Vertex 2 Pro in late 2009. Performance has never been an issue with SandForce and because of the fact that the controller writes less than its competitors, the controller and driv...
Abstract: Having tested some of the fastest computer systems available today, it takes a lot to impress us here in the CRN Test Center. But the out-of-the-box performance of Intel's Solid-State Drive 520 Series, the company's latest line of SATA III SSDs for con...
The first, err, actually second thing that crossed my mind after seeing the performance figures is that this is going to be one of those rare "have your cake and eat it too" products. The first actually was that I wanted one in my own desktop. Specifi...
The Intel SSD 520 breaks through setting new SATA6 performance standards due to three important features: High quality synchronous NAND, a more mature controller and more polished firmware. It’s obvious Intel engineers made the right choice holding bac...
Is the Intel 520 Series the SandForce SSD you've been waiting for? Maybe. Intel's latest is a little bit faster than comparable drives based on the same controller and flash memory. The performance gaps between the 520 Series and its synchronous SandForc...
Intel 520 SSD ligger helt i toppsjiktet og leverer ytelse som ikke står tilbake for konkurrentene.Men Intel leverer heller ikke noe særlig mer, siden de faktisk bruker komponenter og teknologi som også er tilgjengelig for alle andre produsenter.Forskjelle...
Abstract: Prosessorgiganten Intel har for lengst markert seg som en solid kjemper på SSD-markedet, og har opp igjennom de siste årene lansert et par legendariske modeller i X25-M-seriene. Men da SATA 6 Gbit/s ble en foretrukken overføringsstandard, som tillot dr...
