BLACKMAGIC DISK SPEED TEST 10.6.8 SERIES

The 520 Series SSD is significantly faster than its predecessor, the 510 Series SSD, particularly with regard to writes both drives support the SATA 3.0 6Gbit/sec interface that's becoming standard in new systems. On a SATA 2.0 interface, the 520 Series offers a maximum 280MB/sec sequential read rate and 280MB/sec sequential write rate. The read/write speeds drop significantly when used on the SATA 2.0 3Gbps interface that most PCs and laptops sport today because it creates a bottleneck. With regard to sequential read/writes, it offers up to 550MB/sec and 520MB/sec, respectively - according to Intel's specification sheet. The drive can deliver up to 80,000 4K-block random write IOPS and up to 50,000 4K random read IOPS. True to its controller, the 520 Series SSD, code-named 'Cherryville,' offers impressive performance in terms of read/writes and I/Os per second (IOPS) when using a system with a SATA 3.0 6Gbit/sec interface, Intel says. Considering that an SSD can offer more than 100 times the performance of a hard drive, which one would you pick? The specs While that's still about 10 times the cost of high-capacity SATA desktop or laptop hard disk drives, it's only two to five times the price of a 15,000 rpm Fibre Channel or SAS drive. Client-class SSDs are hovering around $2.25 to $2.50/GB. The price of consumer-class SSDs is expected to drop to $1 per gigabyte this year. He noted that '100% of Intel employees - 85,000 people - have SSDs in their systems.'ĭon't be shocked.

will be replaced with an SSD in the future.' 'We believe both 10,000 and 15,000 rpm hard drives. 'We believe high-RPM hard drives are dead,' said Troy Winslow, director of product marketing at Intel's Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group.

Intel Monday started shipping its fastest solid-state drive (SSD), the first to use the SandForce (now LSI) SFI-2281 NAND flash controller, which promises 500MB/sec-plus performance.
