Vergrößern Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB: Vorderseite der SSD-PlatineDie Intel SSD 520 Series 240GB versteht es meisterhaft, aus der Kombination von DDR-Flashspeicher und Sandforce-2281 das Maximum an Leistung herauszukitzeln. Das macht die Intel 520 zur de...
„Intel und SandForce“ – für viele hat diese Vorstellung sicherlich im Vorfeld für leichte Bauchschmerzen gesorgt. So ist die Geschichte der SandForce Controller des Öfteren von Firmwarefehlern geprägt. Doch für Intel sind die Vorzüge des Controllers de...
Extrem schnell, Großer Speicher, Sehr gut in der Praxis
Schwache Zugriffszeiten
Die 520-Serie von Intel ist eine starke SSD und dennoch eine Enttäuschung auf hohem Niveau. Zwar sind die Transferraten und auch die Praxis-Benchmarks hervorragend, die Zugriffszeiten erweisen sich gegenüber der starken Konkurrenz aber als deutlich langsa...
Abstract: Intel è stata una delle prime aziende a puntare fortemente sulla tecnologia allo stato solido. I dischi X25-M di prima e seconda generazione sono infatti stati definiti spesso come i migliori sul mercato, andando a posizionarsi nella fascia più alta e off...

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 ...
