DuraWrite technology from SandForce has yet to win me over. I can see it performing as it was designed when dealing with highly compressible data such as databases (ref: LSI white paper) but I fail to picture a usage pattern that would fully take advantag...
Really fast performance, Wide range of capacities, Generous warranty (5 years), 128-bit AES encryption, Built-in safeguards for overheating, Data protection schemes
30GB drive's write performance is slower than the rest, Relatively expensive, Limited application
Intel's 525 Series SSDs come in capacities ranging from 30GB to 240GB. Oftentimes in technology there are concessions made at every turn. Trying to build a quiet system? You're probably going to have to sacrifice ultra high-end components to do so, or pay...

Although SSDs use the 2.5″ form factor originally designed for laptop drives, it just isn't small enough for the upcoming tiny SFF systems – even with the thin 7.5mm height created for the Ultrabook spec.The next step down from there is going to be the M....
The dearth of big name drive makers in the mSATA SSD space, along with the performance and wide variety of capacities offered by the 525 Series of drives, makes it a slam dunk to look Intel's way for your mSATA needs....
There aren't really any new conclusions to be made here now that we've gone through almost all of the capacities of Intel's SSD 525. While I'd still like to see Intel bring its own 6Gbps controller technology down to the client space, the SF-2281 based In...

It was only a few years back that we did our part in introducing the world to solid state drives and I still remember the initial reaction as being, ” No way! They will never cut it and you've lost your marbles if you think they will!” That was quite co...
Intel's SSD 525, at least in the 240GB form we reviewed today, is largely an updated, smaller form factor version of the 520 we met last year. The firmware updates Intel put in place on the 525 seem to improve performance over the 520, and the drive does...
