Intel just released their latest and greatest, the 510 Series which 470mb read/315mb write which is great news. The bad news-they are selling at Newegg for more money than current SATA II drives. Check it out:
Newegg.com - Intel 510 Series (Elm Crest) SSDSC2MH120A2K5 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Launch fast. Land safe. Take responsiveness to new heights with a 6 Gb/s Intel® Solid-State Drive 510 Series and experience fast SATA sequential performance.
Performance amplified!
The Intel® Solid-State Drive 510 Series accelerates SATA throughput for demanding client systems by utilizing SATA 6 gigabits per second (Gb/s) performance and proven Intel NAND Flash Memory based SSD technology. Available in a 2.5 inch form factor, the Intel SSD 510 Series supports data transfers of up to 500 megabytes per second (MB/s).
As an accelerated storage solution, the Intel SSD 510 Series makes desktops, workstations, and notebooks come alive by transferring more data in less time—expediting storage I/O and unleashing system performance!
Outperforms Hard Disk Drives (HDDs)
Designed to deliver outstanding performance, the Intel SSD 510 Series draws from decades of memory engineering experience and compute-quality Intel NAND Flash memory manufacturing. The drives feature the latest generation SATA 6 Gb/s interface with advanced architecture employing eight (8) parallel NAND flash channels equipped with multi-level-cell Intel NAND Flash Memory. The Intel SSD 510 Series delivers exceptional throughput—
dramatically outperforming traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs).
In fact, the Intel SSD 510 Series outperforms two SATA 6 Gb/s 10,000 rpm RAIDed hard disk drives!¹ High-end game and workstation systems benefit from increased storage performance over mechanical hard drive configurations. Mobile workstations now experience higher performance, as well as Intel SSD ruggedness, and power savings over RAIDed dual-bay HDDs.
Solid State means rugged, lower power
Unlike traditional hard disk drives, Intel® Solid-State Drives have no moving parts, resulting in a quiet, cool, highly rugged storage solution that also offers faster system responsiveness. Boot time, application launches, file loads, sleep recovery, benchmarks; each activity is faster with a 120GB or 250GB Intel SSD 510 Series device. Delivering sequential read speeds up to 500 MB/s and sequential write to 315 MB/s, the Intel SSD 510 Series dramatically accelerates operating systems and application performance.
Designed to satisfy the most demanding gamers, media creators, and technology enthusiasts, the Intel SSD 510 Series brings high performance storage and reliability to notebook and desktop PC systems.
