The editors didn't like
IOPS performance
While decent
Doesn't hold a candle to previous (3Gb/sec) generations
Price (see below)
Slower in some areas than X25-M
Still a huge gap in speed compared to latest SandForce models
Random Reads / Writes
IOPS performance vs. Newer Drives
Slow random-access speeds compared with competing drives. Relatively expensive.
Slightly slow sequential writing performance by today's standards.
Tieing up a 24-page roundup in a few lines isn’t easy, especially as the cost of flash memory is currently dropping, meaning that the price of 120 to 128 GB SSDs is changing almost daily, with some manufacturers responding faster than others. Pricing i...
So after reading all the results i am sure many of you are wondering about which SSD is currently the best one in the market. Well if you can afford the extra premium then the RevoDrive3 240GB is without doubt faster than every other SSD in thi...
Abstract: Ever since I started reviewing PC components here at TR, my relationship with hardware has become increasingly promiscuous. The Ikea shelving unit that serves as my test rack plays host to an endless stream of new systems—at least one every week, and when...
Abstract: The latest generation of SSDs is out in full force. Drives are widely available from a multitude of vendors, firmware issues have for the most part been resolved, and competition has driven prices dangerously close to dollar-per-gigabyte territory. If you...

Abstract: Even though there is a plethora of mechanical hard drives on the market that support the SATA-600 interface, we really need a solid state drive to make use of the bandwidth available. Today we are going to compare five different models from Crucial, In...
Abstract: However, imagine how surprised we were when it turned out that the new SSD series for computer enthusiasts aka Intel 510 was using third-party controllers...
Outstanding performance, Supports TRIM, 3 year warranty, Good amount of accessories included, Nice looking, rugged metal case
High price
The engineers at Intel have done an incredible job tuning the firmware of their 510 Series to suit the needs of today's consumers. Especially in our ISO file copy and game patching benchmarks, the Intel drive plays in a completely different league from...
Strong performance, particularly in sequential reads and writes. Supports 6Gbps SATA.
Slow random-access speeds compared with competing drives. Relatively expensive.
The SSD 510 Series, Intel's replacement for its once–industry leading X25-M drive solid-state drive, turns out fine numbers in some circumstances, but its random-access speeds may be a turn off for more advanced power users. Buy it now...
