Doesn't Clearly Outpace Some Much Older Drives
"Only" SATA II
It's a bit late to come out with a 'new' 3Gb/sec part
Performance still not impressive next to top-end single drives
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...
Increased security features. Inexpensive compared with other recent drives.
Lacks support for 6Gbps SATA.
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...

Abstract: A year ago whenever I'd request an SSD for review I'd usually get a 128GB drive built using 3x nm 4GB 2-bit MLC NAND die. These days the standard review capacity is twice that as most drives ship with 25nm NAND, using 8GB die. Seeing a bunch of scores for...
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...
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...
Abstract: Well, it's finally about to happen. Intel announced that they're getting into the world of high capacity drives by releasing a new line of solid-state drives all the way up to 600 gigabytes. The new drives are the third generation of Intel's SSD 320 Serie...

Doesn't Clearly Outpace Some Much Older Drives, "Only" SATA II
The Intel SSD 320 series 300GB drive proved to be one of the better performing SATA II drives we have tested. Overall, the SSD 320 series drive is faster than the previous-gen X25-M G2, especially in sequential write speeds. Versus the SandForce SF-12...
