Intel 510 Series SSD

Silky smooth operation as a system drive (during the test period)., Excellent reading and writing performance., Good 4K random I/O performance., SATA 6Gbps support., Excellent multitasking potential., TRIM support under Windows 7., Lightning fast...

Slightly slow sequential writing performance by today’s standards.

Let us summarise the most important positive and negative points below: The Intel 510 series 120GB SSD is a well-rounded drive, and it has very good performance when connected via native Intel SATA 6Gbps. 4K random IOP performance is more than enough...

Slightly underwhelming, that about sums up the Intel 510 series 120GB SSD. Apart from the incredibly high sequential read performance, the current generation of SSD’s such as the Vertex 3 from OCZ, walk all over the Intel 510 series. In some scenarios,...

SATA 6Gbps capability ; sequential read performance is class leading, for the time being anyway ; TRIM support

random performance is poor ; pricing could be better ; write performance is lower than the leading drives ; its released just as the next generation technology is due to hit

KitGuru says: A solid release from Intel, but we had hoped for a little more.

My guess would be that Intel uses half as many of the same NAND modules on its 120 GB SSD 510. In the real-world, you’d really need to push a lot of concurrent requests to best demonstrate the difference between the two drives, though—and as we’re...

Strong performance, particularly in sequential reads and writes. Supports 6Gbps SATA.

Slow random-access speeds compared with competing drives. Relatively expensive.
