Intel SSD 510 Series 6Gbps SATA Drives Tested

MojoKid writes "Intel recently announced its 510 series Solid State Drive products. The new 510 series SSDs build upon Intel's successful X-25M series of drives by offering native support for SATA 6Gbs interface speeds, with maximum reads in the 500MB/s range and write speeds of approximately 315MB/s — huge improvements over the previous generation. The numbers are in and the new Marvell-infused Intel SSD offers impressive performance rivaling other 6Gbps SATA SSDs on the market but not as fast as the recently announced SandForce 2500-based SSDs like the OCZ Vertex 3."

I haven't spent over $100 for a hard drive in years and I'm not going to start because it's an SSD.

I haven't spent over $5,000 for a horse in years and I'm not going to start because it's a car.
