While not exactly we were expecting by carrying a third party Marvell controller, Intel has done a fine job with their custom firmware to produce a SATA 6Gbps drive that fares very well against the newest SandForce drives. While we can't say it leads...
Strong Sequential Performance, Benefits From Intel's QC Labs
Random Reads / Writes, IOPS performance vs. Newer Drives
As we mentioned earlier, the Intel 510 Series solid state drives will initially be available in two capacities: 120GB and 250GB. The 250GB model will be priced at about $584 (in 1K quantities), while the 120GB capacity model will arrive at about $284. Tho...
Let’s start with OCZ’s Vertex 3, rather than Intel’s SSD 510. Although the Vertex 3 doesn’t clean house in every discipline, it is most consistently toward the top of each workload. Intel’s SSD 510 is almost bipolar in comparison. Rather than focus on ...
The first time Intel told me it would be using a 3rd party controller in one of its upcoming SSDs I bit my tongue. Intel tried to justify the decision but all I heard in my head was that Intel was bowing out of the high end race, that Elmcrest was a copou...
IOPS performance, while decent, doesn't hold a candle to previous (3Gb/sec) generations, Price (see below)
While we were glad to see Intel step up and release this 6Gb/sec part, I can't help but feel this was a bit of a rush job. While the drive performed decently and reliably, I certainly didn't get that same feeling of performance awesomeness present with ea...
Retains 34nm flash with higher write-cycles, Tried and true controller, but not from Intel, Very good performance over legacy and SATA 6.0Gbps connections
Slower in some areas than X25-M, Still a huge gap in speed compared to latest SandForce models
The 250GB Intel SSD 510 is a solid top-tier drive, although not as high performing as the newly released OCZ Vertex 3. In the consumer space Intel has been satisfied marketing themselves as the solid choice for those buyers who are interested in very ...
Abstract: Code-named Elmcrest, Intel’s 510 series drives use 34nm flash memory and come in 120GB and 250GB variants; we tested the latter.Compared to existing Intel SSDs, Elmcrest hikes performance substantially. Intel rates the 250GB drive at 500MByte/sec sequ...

TestbedBenchmarksThe figures that we garnered after running the ATTO disk benchmark reveal that the 510 Series is the fastest in terms of read speed. It was able to surpass two of the fastest SSDs that we had personally encountered from Patriot, the Pyro...
