Intel introduces new solid state drive series 520

Intel has the solution for professionals who demand high performance in transfer speed and bandwidth with the new series solid state drives 250 (Intel SSD 520), there 6 gigabits per second developed with Intel's technological process of 25 nanometers for NAND memory.

Intel Corporation has launched its solid state drive (SSD) Fastest, most robust customer/consumer yet, la Intel Solid-State Drive Serie 520 (Intel SSD 520), there 6 gigabit per second (gbps) Made with NAND memory process technology 25 nanometers (nm) and Intel quality criteria. Built to deliver world-class performance for PC enthusiasts and gaming lovers alike., like even the most demanding professionals and SMEs, the intel ssd 520 provides fast performance, new security features and unmatched reliability to meet the needs of the most demanding users.

Any consumer application that requires high performance and high bandwidth, Low latency and more speed will benefit from the use of the Intel SSD 520. Professionals such as software developers, architects, accountants, engineers, musicians, Creators and artists will see their productivity increase thanks to the features of the Intel SSD 520. With higher performance for graphics rendering, compilation, data transfer and system boots, Users can speed up multitasking or reduce wait times.

Rob Crooke, vice president of Intel and general manager of Intel Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group, has assured: “We have used Intel engineering to create an SSD that offers maximum performance on all fronts, in addition to very high reliability. The Intel SSD 520 has once again surpassed industry limits in performance, quality and reliability of SSD drives for, in this way, “Greatly improve the user experience.”.

Unlike a hard drive (HDD) traditional with rotating discs and moving parts, An SSD relies on silicon and NAND flash memory to create a lower power storage solution, more reliable and much faster to, in this way, meet the needs of the most demanding applications, the transmission of content over the Internet and more intense multitasking. Based on its computer-grade NAND flash memory, made with the technology of 25 Intel's own nm, plus a SATA III 6gbps interface, Intel SSD 520 uses an LSI SandForce Flash Storage Processor with a firmware version co-defined and validated by Intel, to create an SSD that sets new performance benchmarks in the sector.

Operating speed

Intel SSD 520 offers up to a maximum of 80.000 input/output operations to the second (IOPS) 4K random write and up 50.000 4K random read IOPS to speed up everyday operations. For your part, High sequential read performance of up to 550 megabytes per second (MB/s) and up to 520MB/s sequential writing also greatly accelerates and improves user productivity. All of this is the result of thousands of hours of testing and validation by Intel - which has included more than 5.000 individual tests-.

Michael Ram, vice president and general manager of the Flash Components Division at LSI, formed by LSI's acquisition of SandForce, has commented: “We work closely with Intel to get the most out of their extensive knowledge of NAND flash memory.”, ultimately offering a unique, optimized solution for client computing applications with the LSI SandForce Flash Storage Processor. Working on Intel's extensive validation process ensures that Intel SSD 520 push the limits when it comes to delivering maximum performance, and superior quality and reliability throughout the life of the unit”.

Intel SSD 520 It will be part of the high-end offering of SSD client devices and includes these new features: a wide range of capabilities, from 60GB to 480GB, cifrado Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) of 256 bit and stronger password protection for increased security in the event of theft or power outage. According to the PCMark Vantage benchmark, Intel SSD users 520 You will be able to observe great improvements in productivity of up to 78% in overall PC responsiveness. In addition, players will see an increase of up to 88% in performance for, in this way, improve your experience. For your part, IT professionals will not only offer additional productivity and performance to their clients/employees but will find that Intel SSD 520 also provides reliability, more security, more agile operations and lower total operating costs.

John Carmack, founder and technical director of id* Software, game software developers and creators of Doom and Quake, has pointed: “Our game development workflow includes a combination of high-volume processes and intense interactive pre-visualization and, all this in parallel, to the point of making storage performance become a bottleneck. For many of our tasks, Intel SSDs have doubled performance and, in some cases where mapping of tens of gigabytes of image data has been included, We have seen amazing improvements in performance, something that we see on rare occasions and that is always wonderful”.
