9.5mm housing may limit installation options
3year warranty (vs. 5)
Single capacity point limits consumer choice

SandForce SF2281 Controller Is Getting Old
Expensive compared to other mainstream drives
9.5mm profile won't fit certain thin laptops
Older NAND controller shows its age against newer hardware
Not quite as fast as some other SandForce-Based Drives
Fast sequential performance, A beneficial upgrade for a laptop
The relatively large capacity may still not be enough for some users
The Intel SSD 335 uses the latest in flash storage technology and it's a great little drive if you fancy a speed boost. It will noticeably improve not only the performance of a typical laptop, but also its battery life. If you want to use it in a desktop...
Admittedly, I spent more time in the review looking at how the new 335 Series compared to the 520 Series that I largely ignored the Samsung 840 250GB. The 335 is good enough to compare to Intel's flagship consumer SSD and for the most part walks away...
Right now, the Intel 335 Series 180GB is selling for around £140, which is about in line with the competition such as the Samsung 840 Pro (which might be more expensive, but it is a 256GB model). The OCZ and Samsung options, however, are significantly fa...
Abstract: In June, 2012 we published a large group test of SSDs with capacities of 120/128 GB and 240/256 GB . Those are still the most popular sizes, judging from what people search for on Hardware.Info. The world of SSDs didn't stand still, and since then a num...
The 335 isn't a major leap forward from the 330 in terms of throughput but it does have the advantage of using less power and an affordable price tag. In its current form and capacity though, the SSD 335 is more of a platform for Intel to introduce its l...
When the SandForce SF-2281 controller first made its appearance, it was by far the fastest SSD controller around. Almost two years have passed since, and so has its reign. Firmware updates did bring the performance of the good old Marvell 99SS9174 chip ...
Intel’s 20nm NAND flash renders the Series 335 a step up from Intel’s earlier SSDs, but the aggressive pricing is probably the better news for consumers—and it could be bad news for the slew of manufacturers that recently announced new hybrid hard driv...
