How big is the Intel SSD 520 series?

Intel SSD 520 Series In Detail The Intel SSD 520 Series is aimed at performance buffs with initial SF-2281-based models offering capacities of 60GB, 120GB, 180GB, 240GB and 480GB. The SSD 520 Series has a slim 2.5″ design, measuring 100 x 69.85 x 9.5mm and weighing up to 78 grams.

Which is better Intel 520 or Intel 180gb?

Good average bench The Intel 520 Series 180GB averaged 28.7% lower than the peak scores attained by the group leaders. This isn’t a great result which indicates that there are much faster alternatives on the comparison list. The range of scores (95th – 5th percentile) for the Intel 520 Series 180GB is 36.7%.

What kind of IOPS does Intel SSD 520 have?

For the 240GB SSD 520, Intel quotes random 4 KB read IOPS of 50,000 and writes of 60,000 once the drive is conditioned (80,000 out of the box). To get there, Intel leverages their own IMFT 25nm MLC NAND, selecting the best part of the wafer for these drives, along with a SATA 6Gb/s interface and the aforementioned co-developed firmware.

How many SSD’s have Intel validated for reliability?

To mitigate reliability concerns Intel has invested substantially to make sure the 520 lives up to user expectations. This means the SSD 520 has been validated in 120 client system types and has passed over 5,000 unique tests during the validation cycle.

In other words, the SSD 520 Series drives will differ to similar products in terms of performance and reliability in spite of using the same controller. The Intel SSD 520 Series will be available in 60GB, 120GB, 180GB, 240GB and 480GB capacities.

What’s the speed of a 240GB SSD?

For the 240GB capacity, Intel lists the peak sequential transfer speeds of 550MB/s read and 520MB/s write on the SSD 520 with compressible or repeating data. Switching to randomized or incompressible data though, these speeds drop to an advertised 550MB/s read and 235MB/s write.

What’s the difference between 7mm 520 and 9.5mm SSD?

The 7mm 520’s come in 120GB, 180GB and 240GB capacities, the 9.5mm drives will ship in 60GB, 120GB, 180GB, 240GB and 480GB capacities. All drives are compatible with Intel’s SSD Toolbox, which is a fantastic tool that lets users manage, optimize and update their SSD through a simple interface.
