Mit der neuen SSD 520 Serie hat Intel ein weiteres Laufwerk im Angebot, dass sich, neben der SSD 320 Serie, vor allem Endkunden richtet. Gekleidet in das gewohnte Gewandt, das bereites seit der X-25 G2 Serie besteht, kommt auch diese Intel SSD beim Kunden...
Das 240-GByte-Modell der Intel SSD 520 Series zeigt schon in den synthetischen Tests eine sehr gute Performance und liegt hier mit anderen SSDs mit dem SandForce SF-2281 Controller auf einer Höhe. Besonders überzeugend ist die Performance aber bei den P...
Intel hat sich viel Zeit gelassen bis zur ersten Sandforce-basierten SSD. Die Optimierungen haben sich in unseren Tests ausgezahlt und die Performance-Werte überzeugen vollauf. Zusammen mit der umfassenden Ausstattung und der lange währenden Garantiezeit ...

I nuovi SSD orientati alle prestazioni sono quasi sempre confrontati con unità basate sulla tecnologia SandForce. Finora, il problema è stato che tanti produttori di SSD usano questi controller, cercando di differenziarsi con il prezzo, e a volte si verif...
Due colossi della tecnologia, Samsung e Intel, hanno scelto due approcci differenti nei confronti del mondo degli SSD. Samsung ha prodotto per anni chip memoria da vendere a terzi, decidendo solo nell'ultimo anno di fare il proprio ingresso nel settore co...
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: Бурный прогресс на рынке контроллеров SSD сменился определенным застоем. Так, например, Marvell лишь немного обновил свой контроллер пару раз, но на фоне высоких результатов «старой» версии прогресса никто не заметил; компания OCZ довела свой собственный ...
Abstract: Но ведь модели SSD тоже бывают разные: медленные и быстрые. Для этого обзора были отобраны пять накопителей, пять флагманов своих линеек:Собственно, есть еще один накопитель, считающийся флагманским – OCZ Vector, но модификация объемом 256 Гбайт уже была ...
