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
Intel makes a very good argument as to why consumers and business users should consider purchasing the new SSD 320 over similar priced, higher performance 6.0Gbps models. They have been able to substantially improve write performance over the previous...
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...
Intel's SSD 320 would've been a great drive to have a year ago. Its performance is comparable to Micron's C300 or anything based on the SandForce SF-1200 controller, which last year was just awesome. If you've got a 3Gbps controller and need a drive today...
The Intel 320 Series is, for all intents and purposes, a third-generation X25-M. I'm not sure I'd call it a next-generation SSD, though. This drive offers the latest and greatest in NAND technology, but it's tied to a controller architecture that's been ...

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

While a few may disappointed that the 320 Series doesn't offer a 6Gbps interface, those that are still on SATA 3Gbps hardware will enjoy yet another strong offering in the long list of available SSDs. With Intel's loyal consumer following, strong fea...

Competitors are faster, Doesn't support SATA 6Gb/s
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...
Intel 320 series SSDs packs 25nm NAND memory chips,compared with the last generation product——X25-M 80GB,it feature performance improvement in sequential reads and writes,especially in writes,for example,the write speed is improved from 86MB/s of X25-M...
