Large impact on incompressible write speeds compared to SSD 520
Intel did it again. They decided to go a different route than everyone else. Instead of using crap Asynchronous NAND like every other drive manufacturer to produce a cost effective drive they used a slightly lower binned Synchronous NAND along with fi...
