  • Considerando que a unidade SSD Intel 520 Series usa o mesmo controlador Sandforce SF-2281 da Kingston HyperX e da OCZ Vertex 3 MI, não é surpresa que esses três produtos tenham apresentados resultados similares em nossos testes.Todas as quatro unidades...

  • Abstract:  Serien 520 är baserad på kontrollkretsen Sandforce och här skall vi se hur Intel klarar sig mot konkurrenterna. Tidigare har vi exempelvis testat OCZ Vertex 3 240 GB. För bästa prestanda med ssd-diskar skall man använda AHCI-inställningen i moderkort...

  • Abstract:  Prosessorgiganten Intel har for lengst markert seg som en solid kjemper på SSD-markedet, og har opp igjennom de siste årene lansert et par legendariske modeller i X25-M-seriene. Men da SATA 6 Gbit/s ble en foretrukken overføringsstandard, som tillot dr...

  • Abstract:  Intel SSD 520 er en SSD som man nok vil kunne se levert i mange pc-er rettet mot bedriftssegmentet. Og får man en pc levert med denne SSD-en skal man være svært fornøyd. Kingston KC100 ligger marginalt bak ytelsesmessig – egentlig er det uten praktisk ...

  • Virkelig en ssd fra Intel, der bryder grænser. Ikke blot er den meget hurtig, men den har en fabriksgaranti på hele fem år. Ikke uvæsentligt ved en investering af denne størrelse og med en forholdsvis ny teknologi...
