Intel SSD 510 Series: The solid state hard drive with SATA interface to 6 Gbps

Intel Corporation has announced the first SSD (Solid State Hard Drive or Solid State) of its new range: the Intel Solid-State Drive 510 Series. The new Intel SSD 510 with the blazing speed of SATA to 6 gigabits per second (6 Gbps.) Maximizing the transition to new buses SATA, placed on pallets for the 2 nd generation Intel Core recently submitted .

The new Intel SSD can take full advantage of the 2 nd generation of Intel Core processors. Capable of achieving data transfer rates up to 500 megabytes per second (MB / s), the Intel SSD 510 doubles the speed of sequential reading of the current SSD company 3Gbps interface, with speeds up to 315 MB / s, exceeding by more than three times their sequential write rates, which can transfer more data in less time.

This makes these SSD ideal support for gamers, multimedia content creators, technology enthusiasts and demanding professionals. In addition, the Intel SSD 510 offers the fastest read and write sequential highest among all SATA SSD available today, which offers cutting-edge features that go beyond traditional hard drives up to 50% .1 front conventional mechanical hard drives, SSDs not only provide a better overall system response, but, by not having moving parts, are more resistant, consume less energy and are quieter.

SSDs help reduce boot times and allow a system to launch applications and open files more quickly, while the output of hibernation streamline the system, thus providing substantial improvement. Furthermore, conventional hard disks can not reap the benefits technology provides 6 Gbps. platform, as they are unable even to make the most SATA 3Gbps interface that is used today.

The Intel SSD 510 Series uses the NAND flash memory already established in the manufacturing process of 34 nanometers sequential offering higher rates on the market with read / write speeds up to 500 and 315 MB / s respectively, higher capacity version . This product is already available, and comes in models 250 and 120 GB, priced at 584 and $ 284 respectively in 1,000-unit quantities.

Both products offer a limited warranty of 3 years. The 120 GB version is the perfect choice for systems with multiple units, such as hybrid configurations SSD / mechanical hard drive, more and more popular. In such configurations, the computer accesses the operating system, games and user's favorite applications from the SSD, allowing to have reduced boot times and better performance in applications, while mechanical hard drives used to store data.
