Review of the Intel SSD 520 Series Solid State Drive. Intel is launching a brand new line of solid state drives today, built around SandForce's popular SF-2200 family of storage processors. The new SSD 520 Series solid state drives, as they are known, will supplant the Marvell-based 510 series at the top of Intel's consumer-targeted SSD lineup and be offered in capacities ranging from 60GB to 480GB. Like other SandForce SF-2200-based drives, the new Intel SSD 520 series is outfitted with a SATA III interface with sequential reads and writes speeds in the 550MB/s to 520MB/s ranges, respectively. According to their specifications, 4K random reads peak at around 50K IOPS QD32, with 4K random writes hovering around 80K IOPS for the 240GB model we'll be showing you here.
