Intel has flexed their flash fabrication muscle yet again with the launch of their SSD 335 Series. We have a consumer oriented drive yielding good performance at an excellent price point, which is sure to put Solid State into the hands of even more us...
The SSD 335 is mostly an incremental upgrade from the SSD 330. There are minor changes in performance that are mainly positive, but 20nm NAND is really the only new thing that the SSD 335 brings. It is always impressive to think about performance going up...
Intel is arguably better at mass-producing semiconductors than anyone else in the business. That prowess has served its microprocessor division well, and it's definitely paying dividends on SSD front. Of the ever-growing number of companies churning out ...

With their new 335 series drives, Intel has given us a glimpse of what they believe the future of SSDs should look like. Gone are clearly distinct lines between budget friendly drives and their high end counterparts. Instead, we are finally seeing gene...
When we go shopping for computer parts, we rarely point to a specific product and say that's the model I want and I'm going to save up until I can buy it. The process generally starts out a bit different and based on what's free in our bank account. ...
