Intel 530 Series 480GB SSD Review

 

Intel 530 SSDs never received much attention, but when you need a low cost, high capacity drive that's reliable, this one is worthy of your consideration.

I wasn´t looking the fastest one...what I wanted was reliability and no mechanical noise ; It has been installed for about a year on my htpc with no issues at all ; Is more than enough performance to me (it may perform a bit better if it wasn´t...

So easy, a monkey could do it!!

 

Load one thing at a time, obviously OS 1st, then upgrades and updates, then antivirus and ccleaner(if you use ccleaner, I highly recommend because it will clean off all unnecessary/old updates/versions, so only the bare essentials are on this disk for...

This plug and play SSD is for my OS(Win 8 Pro, essential run programs and games, yes I still have tons of room after OS and antivirus/ccleaner). Have a bootable disk, the rest is so easy. Loaded what I wanted on it, shut down then added my mass storage...

Fast, Reliable, Cheap

 

I broke a piece off of the SATA power connector, i wont dock an egg however because that was my fault. The piece is just barely hanging on by the rest of the connector so as long as I am careful when plugging it in it'll be fine.

Intel ; Fast ; Nice Design ; I have been hammering this thing with writing data to it because i still don't have my hard drive so i am constantly deleting and downloading 40 GB games, and so far it has been doing very well

None so far

Intel SSDSC2BW120A4K5

 

Go with a higher capacity now you'll be wanting it anyways and I think the higher capacity SSDs are slightly faster. I am finding some games and applications I want to get faster loading on in fact I think I could benefit from putting ALL my files on...

Pretty fast, beats any HDD anyday. Used only for my OS and Windows 8.1 boots up in under 6 seconds! Small price for big improvement

none. It's still going strong half a year after installation and used every single day

Quick Boot

 

The next Intel SSD i will buy will have to be 250 Gig or higher

No issues installing windows on this SSD and boot up times are practically under 10 seconds

Running out of space already but not the SSD fault no reason to minus an egg for that. I cant find any faults with this SSD
